Naira falls to an all time low of N375 to $1 on the black market

Traders were left stunned on Thursday as the Nigerian naira traded weaker on the black market to 375 against the dollar. The Naira crossed 300 to the dollar for the first time on the inter-bank market after the Central Bank last month lifted its peg on the currency to allow it trade freely.

The inter-bank market traded a total of $7.27 million and after the market closed, a total of $7.10 million trades were done as low as 330.50 naira to the dollar.
The sharp depreciation was triggered by increased scarcity of the nation’s currency in the inter-bank market. The lack of dollar supply in the interbank market was aggravated by lack of intervention dollar sales by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) causing the naira depreciate by 12 in the market in the last ten days.

Traders who were expecting the Central Bank to intervene and ease dollar shortages were left in their wake as the Central Bank instead mopped up Naira liquidity.

According to the Central Bank's official website on Friday morning, Inflation is at 16.48 while U.S Dollar Exchange rate is at 292.4.

Oil prices fell and recovered, the pound fell and recovered, it is only the naira that just can recover in spite of Oil price recovery and stolen money recovery.It is looking like the Nigerian armed forces challenge of three years ago. It is getting bad by the day. Assure me it is not an inside job

Buhari pls do something, 4 once prove me wrong dat I mistake for nt voting 4 u pls baba go slow

Don Smith said...

Buhari should just go and tender his resignation letter and vacate Aso Rock immediately. He has no agenda and doesn't have a clue on governance. Nigerians haven't even started suffering. Things will go from worse to worst until this man who calls himself Mr President vacates Aso Rock and goes back to his cattle range. Useless APC govt led administration.

Where do these black market dealer get dollar from when it is difficult to get dollar from the bank? Why is black market still operating in Nigeria? Is that the FG is afraid of eradicating this black market or simply do not want to? What purpose do our banks serve interms of FX When we also have parallel markets? Are the benefits of the black marketers more important than the Nigeria economy? I really don't understand...

Our president refused to devalue the Naira but he was insulted that he is too stubborn and all that. I know in Nigeria immediately you allow things to float like that corruption will take over.

this is really sad
