The local currency surged by 0.7 per cent yesterday to 282.5 per dollar, after earlier shedding as much as 0.5 per cent following market adjustments to the new forex policy released by the apex bank.
The CBN sold dollars onto the interbank forex market for a third day to ease dollar shortages after it floated the currency. The regulator has intervened in the market by selling forex since it ended the currency’s 16-month fix of 197 to 199 per dollar on Monday.
