In an effort to liberalize, simplify and improve the
receipt and administration of diaspora remittances into Nigeria, the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wishes to announce as follows:
These changes are necessary to deepen the foreign
exchange market, provide more liquidity and create more transparency in the
administration of Diaspora Remittances into Nigeria.
In addition, these changes would help finance a future
stream of investment opportunities for Nigerians in the Diaspora, while also
guaranteeing that recipients of remittances would receive a market-reflective
exchange rate for their inflows.
All Authorized Dealers and the general public should
note that beneficiaries shall have unfettered access and utilization to such
foreign currency proceeds, either in cash and/or in their Domiciliary Accounts,
in line with our circular TED/FEM/FPC/GEN/01/010
Please ensure strict compliance and be guided
accordingly.
