‘Why Prices Of Rice, Beans, Others Keep Increasing Despite Recent ‘Stable’ Forex’

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has implemented several measures aimed at arresting the free fall of the Naira against major foreign currencies, notably the US dollar.

These interventions have led to a marginal appreciation of the Naira, providing a semblance of stability in the forex market.

On February 20, the Naira experienced a sharp decline, reaching lows of ₦1,500 and ₦1,800 against the dollar in the official and parallel markets, respectively.

This depreciation had a direct impact on the cost of essential commodities, significantly increasing the financial burden on Nigerian households.

In a notable turnaround, the CBN, on February 27, 2024, resumed the sale of dollars to Bureau de Change (BDC) operators, three years after the suspension of this practice. Each eligible BDC operator now has access to $20,000 at a rate of ₦1,301/$.

Additionally, the revocation of the licenses of 4,173 BDC operators was among the drastic measures taken to stabilize the Naira. These actions have contributed to the currency’s appreciation to around ₦1,590 against the dollar in the parallel market.
