The local currency has enjoyed relative stability since December 2024 due to sustained CBN reforms aimed at strengthening market transparency.

Naira’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar at the official market is also driven by improved foreign exchange liquidity and increased investor inflows.

Higher dollar supply from exporters and international oil companies has also supported the local currency’s recent gains.
