CBN to sell dollars to clear demand backlog

The Central Bank of Nigeria is planning to sell an undisclosed amount of dollars to settle a backlog of foreign exchange demand for airlines, fuel and raw material importers.

Foreign exchange traders said the CBN had asked commercial banks to submit bids for dollars to cover the previously unmet demand for hard currency for specific sectors as it tried to improve dollar liquidity and ease pressure on the naira.
