The CBN has since February been pumping in dollars in all segments of the interbank market to ensure liquidity and availability of forex. More than $5 billion has been injected into the market.

According to market sources, the CBN is determined to ensure a convergence between the interbank and Bureau de Change (BDC) rates soon, hence the move to continue its intervention in the interbank market.
