Naira Weakened By Nearly 40% Against US Dollar – World Bank Reveals
The World Bank has revealed that the Nigerian currency is part of the worst-performing currencies in Africa, Naija News reports.
The World Bank, in its report titled, ‘Africa’s Pulse: An analysis of issues shaping Africa’s economic future (October 2023 | Volume 28),’ said the Naira weakened by nearly 40 per cent against the US dollar since a mid-June devaluation.
According to the global bank, “So far this year, the Nigerian naira and the Angolan kwanza are among the worst performing currencies in the region: these currencies have posted a year-to-date depreciation of nearly 40 per cent.
“The weakening of the naira was triggered by the central bank’s decision to remove trading restrictions on the official market. For the kwanza, it was the decision of the central bank to stop defending the currency as a result of low oil prices and greater debt payments.”
The report also revealed that other currencies across the continent that witnessed significant losses thus far in 2023 include South Sudan (33 per cent), Burundi (27 per cent), the Democratic Republic of Congo (18 per cent), Kenya (16 per cent), Zambia (12 per cent), Ghana (12 per cent), and Rwanda (11 per cent).
