CBN denies forex allegation report - The Punch

The Central Bank of Nigeria has denied allegations that faceless agents in Nigeria are exploiting the country’s multiple exchange rates to devastating effects and allegedly with the backing of regulators.

The CBN, in a statement on Monday, reacted to a publication (not The Punch) on “Exposed: The sleazy face of N306/$, …inside Nigeria’s Fx racket where faceless agents pocket over N32bn annually”.

It stated that, “The forex rates across various markets governed and regulated by the CBN, have been converging, leaving no room for arbitrage opportunities in Nigeria’s forex market.

“For avoidance of doubt, the CBN will continue to act in the best interest of Nigeria and shall ensure it remains focused on its core mandate of sustaining the stability in the forex market.”
