CBN will sell $500 million on a 60-day forward contract to help boost dollar liquidity on the interbank market, traders said on Tuesday, a day after it effectively devalued the naira for retail currency transactions.

The central bank said the special intervention will be via a “wholesale bid” whereby commercial lenders will apply for a particular dollar amount as opposed to submitting individual customer demand.
