Naira up despite 10.95% drop in liquidity at official market

Naira, Nigeria’s currency on Thursday appreciated by 0.25 percent despite a drop in liquidity at the official foreign exchange market, known as the Investors and Exporters (I&E) forex window.

There was low activity at the I&E window as the daily foreign exchange market turnover declined by 10.95 percent on Thursday to $110.22 million from $123.78 million recorded on Wednesday, data from the FMDQ indicated.

After trading on Thursday, the dollar was quoted at the rate of N428.12/$ as against N429.20 quoted on Wednesday at the official market.

Most currency dealers who participated in the FX auction maintained bids between N415.00 (low) and N444.00 (high) per dollar.

In the parallel market popularly called the black market, the local currency reversed the previous gains as the dollar was sold for N655 on Thursday compared to N640 sold on the previous day.

“There is demand in the market today, I think that is the reason why the dollar has gone up again,” a trader told BusinessDay.
