The central financial institution, nonetheless, did not state what number of BDCs will get the Foreign exchange allocation.
The round states, “We seek advice from our letter to you referenced TED/DIR/CON/GOM/001/071 in respect of the above topic whereby the CB accredited a second tranche of sale of FX to eligible BDCs.
“We write to tell you of the sale of $10,000 to every BDC on the price of N1,251/$1. The BDCs are to promote to eligible finish customers at a diffusion of NOT MORE THAN 1.5 per cent above the acquisition worth.”
