NBE to Launch Interdealer FX Platform, Ease Export Surrender Rules Under Reform Drive

0
As part of its ongoing macroeconomic and foreign exchange reforms, the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) plans to establish an interdealer trading platform and relax surrender requirements for commodity exporters by the end of the current fiscal year.

While the platform is designed to ensure transparency, competitive pricing, and real-time execution, its performance so far remains unclear. Building on this launch, the central bank is preparing a roadmap to deepen the interbank FX market. According to commitments made to development partners, the roadmap will include the creation of an interdealer trading platform—an electronic system enabling anonymous, real-time trading among major financial institutions. This initiative is...
