Bismarck Rewane, Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company, has expressed confidence in the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) foreign exchange policies, stating they are yielding positive results and aligning the naira closer to its fair value.

He noted that intervening to protect an overvalued currency can distort market forces, but supporting an undervalued currency helps correct misalignment.

“What is the fair value of the naira? When you do the PPP analysis of the naira, it comes out at 1,102.15/$, in other words, the naira is 26.35% undervalued. If you intervene to protect an overvalued currency, that is bad, but if you intervene to support an undervalued currency, you’re actually bringing the currency back from its misalignment to its alignment. So that is what the Central Bank of Nigeria is doing, and we applaud them,” Rewane said.
