Nigeria’s naira hits record low of 980 per dollar on official market -Refinitiv
October 17, 2023
Nigeria’s naira hit a record low of 980 per dollar on the official market on Tuesday, Refinitiv data showed, mirroring weakness on the parallel market, as persistent dollar shortages plague the currency market.
The central bank of Nigeria has said it will intervene in the foreign exchange market occasionally to boost liquidity, after it last week ended an eight-year ban on some items that were restricted from accessing dollars on the official market.
