CPPE Urges CBN To Review Forex Ban On 41 Items

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), an economic think tank, has urges the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to review its ban on some of the over 41 items, which prevent importers from accessing foreign exchange to bring into the country.

CBN HEADQUARTERS

The CPPE stated this in its economic and business environment review for 2021 and agenda for 2022, the centre said there was a need for the CBN to review its foreign exchange policy in 2022 with a view to improving dollar liquidity in order to rescue the ailing naira and help industries to grow.

The CPPE added that there is also a need for the CBN to engage stakeholders, as its current forex policy regime is negatively affecting investors, manufacturers and other stakeholders.

“In the bid to reduce the pressure on foreign reserves, the CBN had excluded over 41 items from access to foreign exchange in the official window.

“Some of the products on this list are intermediate products for some manufacturing firms which have negatively impacted some manufacturers. It would be advisable for the CBN to have a robust engagement with the stakeholders to review this list in the New Year,” the CPPE said.

The CPPE said the CBN should adopt a flexible exchange rate policy regime, and allow the pricing mechanisms to reflect the demand and supply fundamentals in the foreign exchange market.

“Our proposition is that we should adopt a flexible exchange rate policy regime. We would like to clarify that this is not a devaluation proposition.

“Rather, it is a pricing mechanism that reflects the demand and supply fundamentals in the foreign exchange market. It is a model that is sustainable, predictable and transparent. It is a policy regime that would reduce uncertainty and inspire the confidence of investors.

“It is a policy framework that would minimise discretion and arbitrage in the foreign exchange allocation mechanism. A flexible exchange rate regime is a policy choice adopted to cope with changing demand and supply conditions in the forex market,” it said.

According to the CPPE, adopting a market rate would deepen the autonomous foreign exchange market by liberalising inflows from export proceeds, diaspora remittances, multinational companies, donor agencies, diplomatic missions, and others.

They hinted that a flexible exchange rate would enhance liquidity in the forex market, increase investors’ confidence, and ensure a more transparent model for forex allocation.
