Naira Depreciation: New FX Laws and Guidelines Coming, Says CBN Governor
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Yemi Cardoso, announced that the central bank will soon introduce new foreign exchange laws and guidelines to deal with the falling value of the Naira and stabilize the exchange rate. This means they want to make sure the Naira doesn’t lose its value too quickly.
The CBN will also ask banks to have more money in reserve to support Nigeria’s goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy. It’s like saving more money in your piggy bank to reach a big financial goal.
Cardoso made these statements during a speech at a bankers’ event in Lagos. He also mentioned that the CBN will create new rules for fintech companies and payment banks. If these companies do things outside of their rules, they will face penalties.
To control rising prices, Cardoso said the CBN will limit how much money is in circulation for the next six months. They will also sell government bonds to take extra money out of the banking system.
In his words, Cardoso said, “We want to make sure prices are stable, the economy is growing, the Naira’s value is steady, and it’s easy to borrow and invest in businesses. To do this, we need clear rules for money markets and foreign exchange. We’ll talk to banks and foreign exchange market players before making any new rules.”
He also said, “We need to check if our banks have enough money to support a $1 trillion economy in the future. Right now, it doesn’t look like they do. So, we will ask banks to have more money.”
Talking about fintech companies, he mentioned, “Technology will keep helping us with banking and making financial services available to more people. But we need better rules for fintech companies. Some of them are doing things they shouldn’t. If they break the rules, they will face punishments. We will also make new rules that fit the tech-driven payment industry.”
