Naira trades 250 to the dollar at parallel Market



The Nigerian Naira traded at 250 naira on the unofficial market today, just up from Friday's low of 251, as dollar shortages hit bureaux de change operators.

Traders said nearly half of 2,818 bureaux de change operators were denied access to the central bank's dollar sale last week because of incomplete documentation, weakening the naira.

At the inter-bank market, the naira traded at 198.90 to the dollar, around a rate it has been pegged to since February.

Traders expect dollar allocation to BDC agents to increase on Wednesday as companies update their records with the central bank.
