Nigerian interbank FX market opens with no price quotes after central bank lifts peg - traders


LAGOS, June 20 (Reuters) - Nigeria floated the naira under a new hard foreign currency regime aimed at easing dollar shortages in Africa's biggest economy on Monday but there were no immediate trades, dealers said.

 Last week, the central bank said it would abandon a peg to the naira.
