Trading on the Investors and Exporters (I&E) Forex window on Monday recorded a high of N1,497.50 and a low of N1,470.00.
The Naira has enjoyed relative stability against the dollar since December 2024 due to sustained reforms by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The reforms are aimed at ensuring transparency in the foreign exchange (FX) market.
The apex bank’s reforms are also boosting capacity of BDCs who are in the retail end of the FX market.
The apex bank on Tuesday, January 28, in Abuja, approved waivers on the 2025 annual license renewal fee for all existing BDC operators.
The bank also, on Monday, February 3, extended the deadline for sales of dollars to BDCs from January 31 until May 30.
