The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has introduced a minimum trade value of $100,000 for interbank foreign exchange transactions conducted through the Electronic Foreign Exchange Matching System (EFEMS). The directive, dated 25 November 2024, was signed by Dr Omolara Duke, Director of the Financial Markets Department. The CBN stated that the move aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and compliance within Nigeria’s foreign exchange market. To support this, Bloomberg’s BMatch has been designated as the official order-matching platform for interbank FX trading. The new rules also stipulate that the $100,000 minimum trade value will include incremental clip sizes of $50,000, allowing for flexibility in transaction sizes. The EFEMS is designed to streamline interbank forex trading, minimise counterparty risks, and enforce adherence to CBN regulations.
