Naira’s Value Changes
In the Parallel Market, the naira was valued at N997 for every dollar yesterday. This is an improvement from the N1,000 for every dollar the day before. However, in the I&E Window, the value of the naira dropped to N775.2 for each dollar, which is less than its value of N756.21 the day before.
Difference in Rates
The difference between the official exchange rate and the parallel market rate has become smaller. It was N221.8 per dollar yesterday, compared to N243.79 the day before.
Fitch Ratings’ Prediction
Fitch Ratings, a renowned financial institution, predicts that the naira will continue to lose value. This prediction is based on the growing disparity between the official and parallel market rates, which may indicate challenges in stabilizing the naira by the government.
Current Rates
As of Wednesday, the naira was trading around N1,000 for every dollar. However, on the FMDQ platform in Lagos, it was valued at 745.19 naira for every dollar, highlighting a significant discrepancy in rates.
Recent Naira Performance
Over the last two weeks, the naira’s value has experienced a significant decline, primarily due to a shortage of US dollars. Additionally, some contracts for the naira reached a high value of 821.38 per dollar on Wednesday. The newly appointed head of the Nigerian bank, Olayemi Cardoso, has not yet outlined his plans to address these challenges.
Impact of Changes on the Naira
Fitch Ratings emphasizes that the widening gap between the official and parallel rates indicates underlying issues and suggests that the naira may further depreciate. In June, Nigeria intentionally devalued the naira by 40% to attract more foreign investment. However, by August, the disparity between the two rates began to grow again.
Naira’s Recent Performance
Despite an increase in the availability of US dollars, the naira’s value dropped by 1.48% on Wednesday due to high demand for dollars. Conversely, in the parallel or “black” market, the naira’s value slightly increased. On Tuesday, following a holiday, the naira strengthened by 0.79% or N8. The market opened with the dollar at N1,000 on Tuesday, compared to N1,008 the previous Friday.
