It also revealed that it injected $5.62bn into the foreign exchange market in the fourth quarter of 2020 as part of efforts to ensure the stability of the naira.

This was an increase of $1.25bn from $4.37bn intervention in the economy by the banking regulator in the third quarter.

It stated, “The bank maintained its periodic interventions in the foreign exchange market to boost liquidity, enhance access to foreign exchange, curb unbridled demand and ensure stable exchange rate.

“During the fourth quarter of 2020, total foreign exchange sales to authorised dealers by the bank stood at $5.62bn, an increase of 28.7 per cent above the level in the preceding quarter.

“This was attributed, largely, to the increased interventions in the BDC and I&E windows during the quarter.”
