Nigeria’s external reserves climbed by $540.28 million in the last two weeks of October, rising from $42.63 billion recorded on October 13 to $43.17 billion on October 30, 2025, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The sustained growth indicates an approximate 1.3% growth over two weeks, and a 1.8% increase month-on-month from $42.40 billion at the beginning of October, according to CBN data.

The gross reserves recorded consistent daily increases throughout the review period, with the highest level of $43.17 billion attained on October 30, compared to $42.63 billion at the beginning of the period.

Summary of key movements (Oct. 13–30, 2025)

—Gross Reserves: Up from $42.63bn to $43.17bn (+$540.28m)

—Liquid Reserves: Up from $41.98bn to $42.55bn (+$579.62m)

—Blocked Reserves: Down from $656.45m to $618.63m (–$37.82m)

—Blocked Ratio: Declined from 1.54% to 1.43%
Liquidity improves as blocked funds decline

The liquid portion of the reserves also rose steadily from $41.98 billion on October 13 to $42.55 billion on October 30, an increase of $579.62 million. This improvement suggests enhanced availability of foreign exchange liquidity for trade settlements and monetary operations.

Conversely, blocked funds, the portion of reserves tied up in commitments or illiquid instruments, declined slightly from $656.45 million to $618.63 million over the same period. The blocked share of total reserves fell from 1.54% to 1.43%, indicating a healthier reserve structure and improved efficiency in the management of external assets.

Stop the killing of innocent people in Nigeria.

We need some good news. Too many bad news last week

Rising foreign reserves, subsidy removal leading to more available funds, but National debt is still rising like preeek fed with 5 bottles of Burantashi


Tinubu the 1st class economist and master propagandist has economized us into wretchedness

Looll....if u like talk say e dun increase by 300%. Trump dun talk weytin e go do to the terrorists you are protecting

And in the same 2 weeks Tinubu has taken loan of 2.3 billion dollars, no be MMM be that?

Propaganda of the highest order.

One of the reasons US is angry

This government and propaganda are like 5 and 6
Foreign reserves suddenly rise by how many percentage within 2 weeks?
Keep fooling yourself thinking you're fooling us

This propaganda is too small to overshadow the Donald Trump's threat...the Nigerian government should try something else 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dotherightthing:
One of the reasons US is angry

Sey Nigeria get money and developed pass them abi?

Yet we are still borrowing.
This week the Federal Government is poised to borrowing over 2.4 Billion USD to finance the 2025 budget.

This our economic posture is abracadabra kind of. The more you look the more you see.

Let the poor breathe.
- President Tinubu

Killings should stop ... People are dying haba na.

But tinubu is still seeking for more loan - why

Tinubu thought he has swallowed all opposition, until Maga chief surfaced and headbutt him

Now tinubu is in icu

Propaganda news. Running helter skelter because of Trump's announcement.

Is USD our currency? Everything dollars, USA. I feel very sorry for this country. Mental enslavement. No wonder it is the way it is. You see them mentioning dollars with pride in national discourse as if we are the USA, yet we have our own currency.

Propaganda, nothing good fit come out from Tinubu😁😂😁😂

Thanks to Foreign portfolio investors bringing in the dollars. Also the U.S economy cutting rate.

The moment CBN cuts rates drastically, this FPI money will run away.

It's not about affecting you. Don't be so defensive. 😄

It's about protecting my investment.

Isn't that why you created this post? To tell investors that their money is safe?

Except it isn't truly safe and it is the reason you are deflecting. 🤔
