Store Money Banks have solicited clients to submit offers ahead from the begin of new interbank outside trade exchanging on Monday.
The Central Bank of Nigeria had on Wednesday reported arrangements to start market-driven exchanging of the naira to reduce endless remote trade deficiencies.
Banks requesting that clients submit offers is a sign that the new forex exchanging stage will be driven by business sector constrains and not ruled by inside bank exchanging.
After a meeting with the CBN authorities and banks' CEOs late on Friday, banks requested that their customers send them pending Letters of Credit for them to resubmit and to cite a rate at which they need to purchase dollars, Reuters reported citing its source said.
Clients had so far submitted offers amongst N210 and N290 to the dollar, the source said.
"I got a notice from my bank yesterday requesting that we contact every one of our clients with pending LCs to resubmit their LCs and say at what rate they would need to purchase the dollars," the source said.
"Liquidity will probably come back to the business sector since national bank will now offer its dollars at higher rates."
The CBN has pegged the naira rate at 197 to the dollar for as far back as 16 months after a droop in oil incomes pounded open accounts and its remote stores.
Yet, the naira exchanges at around 355 on the parallel business sector.
A Reuters survey found that examiners expect that when the naira drifts uninhibitedly on Monday it will exchange at 275 to 300 for each dollar.
There is a $4bn overabundance of interest in the business sector which could take three to four weeks to clear, the national bank has said.
Banks will set the principal conversion scale of the naira versus the dollar when the neighborhood cash is permitted to coast uninhibitedly after the CBN surrendered its dollar peg, brokers have said.
The normal rate at which the business sector clears the interest will turn into the new conversion scale, as per the managing an account source.
