Credit rating agency Fitch has issued a warning that the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Foreign Exchange (FX) Gateway Bank initiative may have an impact on the liquidity of commercial banks. This assessment sheds light on potential challenges and implications for the banking sector as the CBN introduces new policies aimed at streamlining foreign exchange transactions.
The FX Gateway Bank initiative, designed to centralize foreign exchange trading and improve transparency, may influence the liquidity positions of commercial banks. As the CBN takes steps to centralize and streamline forex operations, individual banks may face adjustments in their liquidity management strategies.

Commercial banks, key players in the economy, may need to adapt their operations and liquidity management practices in response to the evolving regulatory landscape.
