CBN initiates dollar sales to BDCs at N1,251/$1 as Naira strengthens.
In a recent circular, each BDC is directed to sell dollars to eligible customers at a rate not exceeding 1.5% above the purchase price, suggesting a cap of N1,269/$1. This marks the resumption of dollar sales to BDC operators after a suspension in 2021. With over 4,173 BDC licenses revoked earlier in the year, the exchange rate fell below N1,400/$1 in the parallel market.
The estimated 1,500 remaining licenses may have seen over $15 million sold into the retail market. The move reflects the CBN’s focus on enhancing liquidity in the forex market and aims to stabilize exchange rates. This strategy is expected to make forex more accessible to retail and small-scale enterprises, potentially leading to a stronger Naira in the short term.

Breaking news: Bassirou Diomaye Faye, aged 44, emerges victorious in the presidential election in Senegal.
Opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye is poised to become Senegal’s next president, according to the provisional results announced by the National Election Commission on Monday.
The Senegal Electoral Commission reported that Faye secured 53.68% of the vote, while the ruling coalition’s candidate, Amadou Ba, received 36.2% with 90% of polling station results counted. Ba conceded defeat earlier in the day, as did several other contenders, recognizing Faye and Ba as the primary presidential contenders.
At 44 years old, Faye is also set to become the youngest president in the country’s history.
Outgoing President Macky Sall extended his congratulations to Faye prior to the official announcement of results, acknowledging the smooth conduct of the election and the democratic victory. With Faye surpassing the 50% threshold, the need for a runoff vote is eliminated.
Sunday’s election witnessed a high turnout and was largely peaceful, according to observers. Preliminary results from fully counted polling stations were disseminated on social media overnight.
In response to his victory, Faye expressed gratitude
In response to his victory, Faye expressed gratitude to President Macky Sall and fellow candidates for upholding Senegal’s democratic principles by acknowledging his win well before the official announcement. He pledged to govern with humility and transparency.
Faye, relatively unknown outside his party, was recently released from jail before the election. He holds a senior position in the party led by opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, who was disqualified from the presidential race due to a defamation conviction he claims was politically motivated.
The opposition’s campaign focused on combating government corruption
The opposition’s campaign focused on combating government corruption and safeguarding Senegal’s economy from foreign influences. Ba, supported by Sall, resigned as prime minister to campaign. Sall’s decision not to seek a third term, as mandated by the constitution, followed unrest last summer. The elections proceeded despite Sall’s earlier attempt to postpone them, which triggered violent protests.
