Naira crashes further to N607/$1 in P2P market

The exchange rate between the naira and the US dollar closed at N418.27/$1 at the official Investors and Exporters (I&E) window, falling by 0.12% from N418.25/$ recorded the previous day.

A sum of $115.78 million in FX value exchanged hands at the official market as liquidity tightened, falling by 50.64% compared to $234.54 million that was traded in the previous trading session.

Also, the exchange rate against the US dollar depreciated further on Thursday morning at the peer-to-peer market, trading at a minimum of N607.32/$1 compared to N602/$1 recorded as of the same time the previous day.

Meanwhile, the exchange rate at the parallel market remained stable at N590 to a dollar. This is according to information obtained from BDCs operating in Nigeria.

Nigeria’s external reserve depreciated by 0.1% on Tuesday, 10th May to stand at $39.12 billion, compared to $39.17 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.
