Analyst View
Naira appreciated by 0.08% at the official window from its previous rate of N414.83/$1 to a new N414.50/$1 as of Tuesday, September 28, 2021. The naira gain at the official market continued despite a 2.4% drop in dollar supply. However, the Naira appreciated marginally to N573/1$. The Naira is most likely to slide against the USD in days to come as the financial market is still troubled and Nigeria has little or no local alternatives to many imported items. The fallen value of the Naira at the black market rides on hoarding and speculative purchases.
Activities of currency speculators and forex scarcity continue to hit the foreign exchange market as deposit money banks start to comply with the CBN directive to publish the names, BVN, and account numbers of forex defaulters.
