Traders at the market said they have been trading under acute forex shortage.
A BDC operator, Mr Harrison Owoh, said there has been sustained fall in the sale of foreigncurrencies to BDCs for two weeks running.
Owoh attributed the shortage to the fall in inflow into the country.
"For two weeks running, BDCs have been gettting 8,000 dollars instead of 15,000 weekly dollar sale from Travelex," he said.
