Meanwhile, the CBN has injected $210 million to boost liquidity at the foreign exchange market.

The CBN had remained committed in its aggressive interventions at the foreign exchange market.

The apex bank had injected over $16 billion to the foreign exchange market since February 2017, while the investors’ window has attracted over $20 billion since inception.

The liquidity boost by the CBN had curtailed volatility at the FX market and had also checkmated activities of speculators at the market.
