Naira Weakens to N1,530/$ at Official Market Despite CBN Interventions

 

The naira continued its decline against the U.S. dollar at the official foreign exchange market on Monday, despite policy interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to CBN data, the naira depreciated to N1,530.15 per dollar, down from N1,517.24 last Friday, marking a loss of N12.91 within a day.

Parallel Market Holds Steady
In contrast, the black market exchange rate remained stable at N1,580 per dollar, unchanged from last Friday’s rate.

CBN’s Struggles to Stabilize the Naira
Financial expert Bismark Rewane, CEO of Financial Derivatives, revealed that the CBN has spent approximately $8 billion in recent months in a bid to defend the naira against further depreciation.

The persistent decline of the naira raises concerns about the effectiveness of ongoing forex policies and market stability.
