There are indications that the Central Bank of Nigeria has directed banks to trade foreign exchange at any exchange rate in the Investors & Exporters window based on willing buyer, willing seller arrangements.
In response, the I&E window exchange rate rose sharply to N610 per dollar as at N12:50pm from N471.67 on Tuesday night.
Though the CBN is yet to issue a statement to this effect, two banking executives however confirmed to Vanguard that it is true that the CBN has given the directive to the banks.
