A parallel market (street market) is characterised by non-compliant behaviour with an institutional set of rules.
At the close of the market on Friday, figures from the FMDQ Security Exchange where forex is officially traded in Nigeria also displayed that the local currency fell at the official market by 0.2 percent to N414.40/$1.
It stated that the BDCs had turned themselves into “agents that facilitate graft and corrupt activities of people who seek illicit fund flow and money laundering in Nigeria.”
In August, deposit money banks were commissioned by the CBN to cater for legitimate forex demand by citizens.
In compliance with the policy, the banks set up teller points for FX transactions in their branches to attend to customers with legitimate demands.
