However, the bank’s total purchase stood at $2,210.63m, which represented a negative decline of 76.86 per cent from $9,552.28 recorded in H1 2019 and further resulted in a net sale of $8,097.37m compared to $1,081.31m in H1 2019.

In the review period, $5,425.30m matured at the FX market, representing an increase of 8.95 per cent.

Further analysis showed that $2,504.62m outstanding was recorded at the end of June 2020, representing a negative decline of 1.86 per cent.

According to CBN, the foreign exchange market operations were impacted by the decline in crude oil demand, reduced accretion to the reserves due to the drop in crude oil prices, and foreign portfolio capital reversals.

“In addition, global COVID-19 lockdowns contributed to the slowdown in economic activities. In response, the bank took deliberate efforts at sustaining price stability and preserving foreign reserve levels,” CBN stated.
