What financial specialists are saying
In an exclusive interview, Mr. Olatunde Amolegbe, the managing director of Arthur Steven Asset Management Limited and the former president and chairman of the governing council of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS), stated market confidence is essential for a stable exchange rate.
· What attracts foreign investors to your country and encourages locals to maintain their investments here is confidence.
· The kind of instability will result from demand naturally exceeding supply in the absence of these dynamics.

· Although it's not a magic bullet, I believe that efforts to tools to restrict system liquidity could speculation.

The words foreign [currency] and exchange are combined to form the acronym forex (FX). The process of converting one currency into another for a variety of purposes—usually trade, tourism, or commerce—is known as foreign exchange. The Bank for International Settlements, a global bank that serves national central banks, stated in a 2022 triennial report that the daily global volume of FX trading hit $7.5 trillion in 2022.
