Naira Exchange Rate Appreciates N1,615/$1 Amid CBN Forex Liquidity Boosts

Concerted effort by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stabilise the economy, and bolster the value of the Naira exchange rate, particularly may be yielding more results.

This comes with the Nigerian Naira appreciating to N1,615.00/$1 at the official foreign exchange market, and N1,610.00/$1 at the parallel market.

The national currency strengthened Monday closing at N1,629.00 against $1, data from the CBN has shown.

In the parallel market, however, the naira traded at N1,610.00/$1 on Tuesday, slightly above the official rate, on the back of the apex bank’s concerted efforts at shoring up the national currency.
