Top Highlight
Unofficial: Naira currency devaluation- The CBN devalues the naira to circa N198.0/US$1.0; and equities rally
7.1%
It has finally happened, but through an unofficial route. For the past four trading days the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been taking client
bids for US dollars via banks, and then offering banks US dollars at close to the inter-bank rate, rather than its own official rate.
We understand that late last week it was offering US dollars at N198.0/US$1.0 and at N198.5/US$1.0, then on Monday and Tuesday this week at
N198.0/US$1.0, yesterday at N197.0/US$1.0. This is a far cry from its official N168.0/US$1.0 rate arrived at last November and unchanged since
then for deals in its Retail Dutch Auction System (RDAS). Yesterday it announced that the RDAS is closed for business.
Our base case was that the CBN would ease its official RDAS rate from N168.0/US$1.0 to N182.0/US$1.0, or even out to N191.0/US$1.00 (which
would have made N200.0/US$1.0 a credible interbank exchange rate within a 5.0% band). In the event it has gone further than this by closing
RDAS and entering the interbank market itself.
But it has not made an announcement about devaluation, no doubt due to political sensitivities in the run-up to general elections on 28 March
and 11 April.
Can the currency slip further? Our base case is that it will find a back-stop in the interbank market – which is now the same as with the CBN’s
own rate – of N220.0/US$1.0. But the naira still needs support from a) a reduction in imports (this happens through lower fuel import costs, for
example), b) fewer losses through the ‘net errors and omissions line’ in national accounts (which will likely fall with reduced oil prices), and c)
portfolio investment and foreign direct investment. There is some evidence of c) as the equity market has rallied 7.1% this week.

CBN sells dollar to banks at N198: In a bid to reduce pressure on the naira, which has come under speculative attacks in recent
weeks, the Central Bank of Nigeria on Wednesday announced the closure of the Retail and Wholesale Dutch Auction Systems of the
foreign exchange market. The closure, which takes immediate effect, was confirmed in a statement issued by the Director, Corporate
Communications Department, CBN, Mr. Ibrahim Mu’azu. In taking the step, the central bank was said to have fixed the exchange
rate of the naira to the dollar at 198, which is N30 above its N168 (+/-5 per cent) rate. Source: punchng.com
