CBN to Undertake Spot Checks on Bank Branches to Ensure FX Liquidity
In furtherance of its objective to ensure that banks meet the foreign exchange (FX) demand of eligible travellers, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will from this week and periodically undertake spot checks on bank branches.
The move is to ensure that the financial institutions are selling FX over-the-counter to their eligible customers and non-customers.
The Acting Director of Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr Isaac Okorafor, disclosed this in a chat with THISDAY yesterday.
The naira depreciated to a nine-month low of N366 to a dollar on the parallel market last week due to artificial scarcity in the system.
