The naira has enjoyed relative stability against the U.S. dollar since December 2024 following the introduction of the Electronic Foreign Exchange Matching System (EFEMS) by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The CBN followed up the interventions with additional reforms in January 2025, leading to additional health for the local currency.

Analysts during the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) 2025 Economic Outlook noted that stabilised exchange rate will drive down inflation to boost the nation’s GDP.
