However, NGN/USD exchange rate rose (i.e Naira depreciated) by 0.44% and 0.22% to close at N454.00/USD and N461.00/USD respectively at the Bureau De Change and the parallel (“black”) markets.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange market, NGN/USD closed flat at N358.51/USD, amid weekly injections of USD210 million by CBN into the foreign exchange market: USD100 million was allocated to Wholesale Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS), USD55 million was allocated to Small and Medium Scale Enterprises and USD55 million was sold for invisibles.

Elsewhere, the Naira/USD exchange rate fell (i.e Naira appreciated) for most of the foreign exchange forward contracts: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months rates decreased by 0.20%, 0.34%, 0.51%, 0.92% and 1.42% respectively to close at N387.19/USD, N388.34/USD, N389.47/USD, N392.94/USD and N408.13/USD respectively.

declining external reserves.
