This is what u get when u continue with those useless CBN policies; a guaranteed exchange rate is what assures the stability of foreign investments, otherwise forget it.

One of the problems of our currency’s instability. Why do we allow foreign ‘investment’ in our stock markets when we don’t have the macroeconomic stability to support it? FDI’s should be directed towards long term investments only. Not one that can be pulled out at a whim
