No. of Paragraph 29

The President of Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Gabriel Idahosa, has urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to continue its Foreign exchange marketโ€™s reform with intense discipline to further strengthen the Naira and curb inflationary pressure on the economy.

Idahosa made the call on Thursday during the LCCIโ€™s quarterly press conference where he delivered an address on the state of the economy and urged the federal government to create an atmosphere that promotes export growth and competitiveness. ย 

He said: โ€œWe urge the CBN to continue with its forex market reforms with intense discipline, as the high exchange rate against the Naira is a major driver of the skyrocketing inflation rates,โ€ adding that โ€œthe Naira firmed up due to some foreign exchange policy reforms undertaken by the CBNโ€ before the end of the first quarter. ย 

He added that โ€œin the last few days, the Naira rate of exchange with the Dollar improved, breaking some resistance and moving towards the level of N1000/Dollar or lower.
