Nigeria’s external reserve depreciated by 0.15% on Friday, 6th May to stand at $39.31 billion, compared to $39.37 billion recorded as of the previous day. The decline in the external reserve level can be attributed to the continuous intervention by the Central Bank in the FX market in order to ensure the stability of the local currency.
