EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the rate was recorded at ₦1,437.29 on Monday, representing only a slight depreciation of 72 kobo.
In contrast, data from the black-market and BDC (Bureau de Change) sources report higher rates: one platform lists the selling price at about ₦1,460 and the buying price around ₦1,455.
The persistent gap between official and parallel rates continues to reflect dollar scarcity and ongoing demand pressures.
Exchange Rate Table: November 12 2025
| Market | USD/NGN Rate |
|---|---|
| Official CBN Rate | ~ ₦1,437 |
| Parallel / Black Market | ~ ₦1,460 – ₦1,470 |
Despite the central bank’s rate stability, the parallel market remains active with rates higher by roughly ₦20 to ₦30 per dollar. Analysts attribute this divergence to tight dollar supply, elevated imports, and speculative demand. The broader economic context—including inflation and foreign reserves—also plays a role in shaping expectations and pricing.
For businesses, importers and individuals seeking USD, the dual-rate environment means planning for higher costs if sourcing from the informal market. While the official rate provides a benchmark, many transactions must factor in the premium in the parallel segment to reflect realistic conversion costs.
