Naira hits all-time low at official market, trades at N422/$1
The Nigerian naira has dropped by 2.6 percent to N422 per dollar, hitting an all-time low at the Nigerian autonomous foreign exchange (NAFEX) rate — the default FX reference for official and legitimate transactions.
NAFEX rate is the prevailing rate in the investor and exporters (I&E) window which the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) adopted in May 2021 as the country’s official forex market.
The sharp decline came days after Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo called the CBN to allow the naira reflect the realities of the market.
Osinbajo had said the exchange rate is artificially low and deterring investors from bringing foreign exchange into the country.
