The Nigerian naira has continued to show relative stability in the official foreign exchange window, supported by Central Bank measures aimed at strengthening currency stability. Meanwhile, the parallel market rate remains higher, reflecting demand pressures and limited forex supply in unofficial channels.
Businesses, travelers, and remittance recipients often see different rates depending on whether they use official bank channels or Bureau de Change operators in cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. The gap between official and black market rates underscores persistent forex market segmentation in Nigeria’s economy.
