Naira closes 2025 higher at official market

The naira closed 2025 stronger against the United States dollar on Wednesday, December 31, trading at N1,435.75 at the official foreign exchange market.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data showed the naira gained N9.92, marking continued firmness at year end.

It followed Tuesday’s close of N1,445.68, translating to a 0.7 per cent day on day appreciation.

A CBN official said the movement reflected improved liquidity and confidence, noting that “seasonal inflows supported stability during the yuletide.”

Market analysts said the sustained gains for the naira capped a positive festive period, adding that cautious optimism would guide early 2026 trading.
