Banks Dollar Sale Falls As Naira Weakens To N1,479/$
The Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) experienced a sharp decline in forex transactions, with the total value falling from $465.29 million on Tuesday to $203.93 million on Wednesday—a 56 percent drop, as reported by the FMDQ Exchange.
This significant decrease interrupts a previously observed steady increase in the value of forex transactions on the platform, spurred by a series of directives from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) aimed at enhancing market liquidity.
In efforts to stabilize the forex market, the CBN recently issued circulars mandating banks to offload their excess dollar reserves and enforce accurate and transparent reporting of forex trading data.
Despite these measures, the naira witnessed a 1.4 percent depreciation against the dollar at the parallel market on Thursday, driven by robust demand for the US currency.
Exchange rates at the blackmarket showed the naira trading at N1,480 to a dollar, marking a N20 drop from Wednesday’s rate of N1,460 per dollar.
