Background of the Study
Foreign exchange (forex) policies play a significant role in shaping the economic landscape of a country, particularly in countries with developing economies like Nigeria. The value of a nation’s currency in relation to foreign currencies affects trade, investment, and the overall economic health of both individuals and businesses. President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which came into power in 2023, has introduced new foreign exchange policies aimed at stabilizing the naira and managing the country’s forex reserves more efficiently. These policies include adjustments to exchange rate regimes, the introduction of a single market rate for the naira, and measures to encourage the repatriation of foreign currency earnings.
In Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, local businesses are deeply intertwined with the national economy, and fluctuations in the exchange rate have far-reaching effects on their operations. Businesses that rely on imported goods and services, particularly in sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and construction, are especially vulnerable to the changes in foreign exchange policies. This study will examine the specific impact of President Tinubu’s forex policies on local businesses in Maiduguri, exploring the challenges they face and the strategies they employ to navigate the changing economic environment.
Statement of the Problem
The introduction of new foreign exchange policies by President Bola Tinubu’s administration has sparked mixed reactions from various sectors of the Nigerian economy. While the policies aim to stabilize the economy and enhance the country’s foreign exchange reserves, they also have immediate and long-term consequences for local businesses, especially those reliant on imports. In Maiduguri, businesses are facing challenges such as price instability, supply chain disruptions, and reduced purchasing power, which may hinder their ability to grow and thrive. This study will investigate the impact of these forex policies on local businesses in Maiduguri, focusing on the practical challenges businesses face and how they are adapting to these changes.
