EKO HOT BLOG reports that in Nigeria’s parallel market, also known as the black market, the dollar is exchanged at significantly higher rates compared with the official figures released by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Bureau de change operators and currency traders say demand for the United States dollar continues to put pressure on the naira.

The difference between the official exchange rate and the black market rate continues to reflect the pressure in Nigeria’s foreign exchange market. Analysts say limited dollar supply and strong demand from importers remain key factors driving the gap between both markets.

Economic experts have repeatedly advised businesses and individuals involved in foreign exchange transactions to monitor official updates from the Central Bank of Nigeria and licensed financial institutions.

The value of the naira against the dollar often fluctuates due to market forces such as foreign reserves, global oil prices, and Nigeria’s trade balance.
