The naira experienced renewed depreciation against the dollar on Wednesday at both the official and black market foreign exchange rates.
Data from FMDQ indicated that the naira weakened to ₦1,687.52 per dollar on Wednesday, down from ₦1,678.93 recorded the previous day. This decline represents a loss of ₦8.59 in the official FX market.
Similarly, in the black market, the naira fell to ₦1,750 per dollar, compared to the ₦1,740 traded on Tuesday.
The depreciation comes despite an increase in FX transaction turnover, which rose to $173.29 million on Wednesday, up from $128.59 million the previous day, according to FMDQ figures.
The naira’s performance has been marked by volatility over the past few months, even with interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria aimed at stabilizing the currency. This continued fluctuation underscores the persistent challenges facing Nigeria’s foreign exchange market.
