Naira Depreciates To ₦‎1,635/$ In Parallel Market by treesun(op): 7:48am On May 15, 2025
The naira yesterday depreciated to N1, 635 per dollar in the parallel market from N1,625 per dollar on Tuesday.


The Naira has recorded a 1.8 percent or N29 depreciation in the parallel market from the beginning of this month till date.

However, the Naira appreciated to N1,596 per dollar in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM),
Data published by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN showed that the exchange rate for the naira fell to N1,596 per dollar from N1,599.8 per dollar on Tuesday, indicating a N3.8 appreciation for the naira.

Consequently, the margin between the parallel market and NFEM rate widened to N39 per dollar from N25.2 per dollar on Tuesday.

According to some fuuls and APC online bastards,
The masses must suffer, go through intense hardship, severe hunger, misery, collapse and die for tinubu to fix the economy of Nigeria.

There is no other country in the world where people obsess needlessly about small movements in their currency.

The Naira has been very stable since before the beginning of the year, and this year so far, average volatility has been around 2%.

That's a solid performance that has driven currency speculators into redundancy. Speculation is mostly dead.

Every currency moves either way. What's important is the movements should be relatively small. That's where the naira is right now.

The CBN has done an excellent job of making the Naira stable.

This is where you begin to suspect IMF and World Bank's so-called intervention policies.

Handling the economy, just like he promised.

Reducing the purchasing power of the people, I mean how much more can someone keep his promise beyond this!!

Since this guy came to power, house rent alone has increased more than 100%, yet salary never increase.

The only respite is the fact that even his average supporters are enjoying the same conditions

Managing an economy has so many factors to be considered. Forex is just one of the factors. No one looks at the government if food is on his table. Insecurity is a major bane to the dismembered economy that we see in the recent time.

1. FX Liquidity Is Fragile:
CBN’s reserves and interventions aren’t deep enough to stabilize demand.

2. Parallel Market Feeds on Uncertainty:
Importers and investors panic-buy dollars due to low faith in consistent policy.

3. Rates Are Artificially Split:
Two markets (official + black) with different incentives = arbitrage and volatility.

4. Oil Revenue Is Weak + Debt High:
Nigeria earns less FX than it needs. Supply ≠ Demand.

Bottom line: Until Nigeria exports more non-oil value or builds real FX buffers, naira will continue falling.

The headline and the content are contradictory.

How did an appreciation in the official market captured as depreciation in the headline?

This looks like a copy and paste from the past. Today's reality is different.

1. FX reserves is around $40 billion. That's good.

2. Nigeria's dependence on oil as sole source of FX is reducing. Positive balance of trade and growing remittances through official channels are changing the narrative. That is why, despite the recent dramatic fall in the price of crude oil, the Naira remained gidigba.

3) Arbitrage opportunities between official and black market rates have dwindled significantly as the difference in prices between the 2 markets have narrowed massively. That's why speculators have run away.

4) Non oil exports are booming, hence 2024 record positive trade balance of around $6.5 billion. The Nigerian economy is no longer all about oil. Cocoa is pumping dollars and Euros. So are sesame seeds and others.

The economy is rebalancing, but some people still live in the past believing in outdated statistics that bears no relation to the present.

DeLaRue:

That's because we are an import dependent economy. Even most manufacturing depends on imports...so at the end, people obsess over forex rates.

To some extent, it's a global game, which is why when you watch Aljazzera, CNN and some other broadcasters (and there is Bloomberg which essentially is CNN for businesspeople) they show the exchange rate every now and then. Improved travel and higher rates of global trade (nowadays, one can sell stuff from a remote village in Nigeria..to a USA buyer in theory)....means that people have to know how the exchange rate flows.

TLDR...everyone does it. Not just Nigerians.
