The sales were made through two-way quotes at the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) within 11 dealing days, according to the CBN’s director of financial markets, Omolara Duke. The value dates for all the transactions were T+2.

The CBN’s move is a welcome step to address the high demand for commodity importation and seasonal demand for FX, which has been driving market volatility.
