Naira Faces Dramatic Depreciation, Casting A Shadow Over Nigeria’s Economic Stability
Nigeria’s currency, the naira, has experienced a concerning drop in its value, raising alarms about the country’s economic outlook, according to data from Q3 2023.
Staggering Loss in Parallel Market
The parallel or “black” market witnessed the most significant setback, where the exchange rate plunged a staggering 23% from N770/$1 to N1000/$1. In contrast, the official exchange rate went from N769.25/$1 to N755.27/$1 by the end of Q3, as reported by Nairametrics.
External Reserves on Decline
Nigeria’s external reserves did not fare any better, slipping from $34.1 billion at the end of Q2 to a slightly lower $33.2 billion by Q3’s end. This decline further adds to the concerns regarding the country’s economic stability.
Forex Backlog to Blame
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cites a forex backlog estimated between $6 billion to $10 billion as a significant factor for the naira’s depreciation.
