According to the top official of the apex bank, the CBN has not changed its strategy of allowing a gradual convergence of the parallel and official market exchange rates.
“The report is not true. The CBN has not devalued the naira. The exchange rate of the naira on the FMDQ website as at yesterday was N464.67 per dollar. The authors of the report may have their own agenda, but the CBN’s plan is that the best approach is to allow for a gradual convergence of all the rates.”
