Nigerians are in a cash crunch. The central bank announced a plan late last year to replace its largest currency notes. Officials said the new notes would cut down on counterfeiting and help the cash-oriented economy move towards electronic payments.
Nigeria’s highest court slapped a temporary ban on the plan to replace the country’s largest currency notes, and US regulators may ban non-compete clauses that stop workers from jumping to a rival company for a certain amount of time after quitting.
