Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had, in a circular, directed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) to resume the sale of Forex from proceeds of international money transfers to BDCs.

The CBN said that the move was to bring in critical stakeholders in the Forex market to participate in driving its vision for a greater flexibility in the nation’s exchange rate policy.
