The CBN on 5 November 2024, issued the Guidelines on Implementation of the Foreign Currency Disclosure, Deposit, Repatriation, and Investment Scheme, 2024 (the “CBN Disclosure Guidelines”). Prior to this, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) had, on 19 October 2023, launched the Foreign Currency Voluntary Disclosure, Deposit, Repatriation, and Investment Scheme (the “DDRI Scheme”) pursuant to Executive Order No. 15 of 2023 (“EO 15”). Further to this, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, on 8 April 2024, issued the Foreign Currency Voluntary Disclosure, Deposit, Repatriation, and Investment Scheme Guidelines, 2024 (the “Scheme Guidelines”), to operationalise EO 15. EO 15 and the Scheme Guidelines were issued to facilitate the voluntary disclosure, deposit, and repatriation of internationally tradable foreign currencies (“ITFCs”) held by Nigerians with a view to integrating these legitimate foreign currency assets into the formal economy. Further to these regulations, the CBN Disclosure Guidelines were issued to implement the DDRI Scheme. Among other things, the CBN Disclosure Guidelines set out the role of commercial, merchant, and non-interest banks (CMNIBS) in the operation of the DDRI Scheme. In this flash note, we highlight the key features of the DDRI Scheme and the role that the relevant stakeholders are expected to play in its operation. We also spotlight similar schemes that have been deployed in other jurisdictions as well as their outcomes. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dMAPnARr 📝 Funmilayo Otsemobor, Partner | Zacheaus Akanni, Senior Associate | Ayomide Awoyemi, Associate #AlukoandOyebode #ForeignCurrencyGuidelines #DDRIScheme #CBNRegulations #EconomicPolicy #NigeriaFinance #oneALN
