According to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data, the naira gained N11.08, representing a 0.7 per cent appreciation from Thursday’s N1,498.97.

However, it slightly depreciated on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, trading at N1,484.13; N1,494.01, and N1,498.97, respectively.

Members of CBN’s Monetary Policy Committee also predicted continued appreciation in their personal statements during the 301st MPC meeting in July 2025.
