Naira goes for  N2,000/1£ at parallel market

Nigeria’s local currency is currently exchanging above 2,000 naira against the Great Britain Pound at the parallel market.

These developments persist despite the Central Bank of Nigeria’s implementation of several policies aimed at bolstering the supply of foreign exchange.

One of the recent policies was the CBN’s announcement of halting international oil companies operating in Nigeria from immediately remitting 100 percent of their forex proceeds to their parent companies abroad.

Market analysts attribute the recent decline to a consistent surge in demand for dollars that has been evident since the commencement of January. The primary contributors to this heightened demand include a substantial portion of the demand attributed to businesses actively seeking to restock goods or acquire raw materials, necessitating a higher demand for foreign exchange.
