This is coming on the heels of the exponential growth of BDCs operators; the number had grown from 74 in 2005 to 5,689 last year.
On June 14, the CBN, under the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, introduced operational reforms to the country’s foreign exchange market, which led to the unification of the forex window.
