Nigeria is expecting $10 billion in new foreign currency inflows in the next few weeks to ease liquidity in the foreign exchange market, finance minister Wale Edun told a conference on Monday.

He said the government would allow domestic issuance of instruments in foreign currency and also allow all cash outside the banking system to be brought into the banks.A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could temper market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank.
