CBN commits to protecting , IMF urges caution, to avoid needing “Urgent 2k”, cash Nigeria lets naira weaken

In furtherance of its vigorous pursuit of redesigning the naira, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said it is pleased with the positive response of the banking public to the policy through increased currency deposits across banks and other financial institutions.

The CBN reiterated its commitment to the seamless implementation of the initiative to ensure the achievement of its objectives to preserve the integrity of the local legal tender by reducing the significant amount of cash outside the banking system and its use in criminal activities, curtailing counterfeiting, and promote financial inclusion, amongst others.

Whilst noting the progressive increase in financial access points and alternative banking
channels over the years (electronic/internet banking, mobile apps, ATM, cards/PoS, eNaira, agent banking, etc.), the bank acknowledges that these may not be evenly distributed across all geopolitical zones and in some rural areas.

The Director, Corporate Communications of the CBN, Osita Nwanisobi, said in a statement issued on Sunday that “in operationalizing this initiative, the CBN has been collaborating with relevant agencies and other stakeholders in the financial system in its execution, particularly ensuring that vulnerable citizens are not disenfranchised.

“Accordingly, the banking public in rural and/or underserved areas may access CBN branches in the 36 States of the Federation to enquire about options for depositing their current N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, wallet/account opening processes, financial access points, etc.

“Furthermore, agent locations across the country have been fully enabled for BVN
registration, opening banking accounts/wallets & e-Naira wallets, electronic card distribution, and cash deposit, among others. Due to the policy, the agents have also been accorded priority to enable them to deposit cash collections through bank branches across the federation.
