Market Insights: What Is Driving the Naira Today?
TJ News Nigeria gathered that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has continued to implement monetary tightening and foreign exchange management policies to stabilise the naira. Recent foreign capital inflows into government securities and better oil revenue have helped support the official exchange rate.
However, scarcity of forex in the retail segment continues to drive up demand in the parallel market, leading to a significant gap between official and black market rates.

Implications for Nigerians and Businesses
- Importers and international students are still affected by higher black market rates due to limited access to official forex windows.

Important Note for Currency Traders
Traders are advised to verify rates with credible Bureau de Change (BDC) operators and avoid illegal forex deals. Both the CBN and the EFCC have warned against speculation and hoarding of foreign currencies.
