BREAKING: Naira Appreciates Massively Against Dollar (SEE LATEST EXCHANGE RATES)
On Friday, November 17, 2023, the Nigerian naira experienced a substantial appreciation against the US dollar, closing at N791.75/$1 in the official market.
This surge in the naira’s value has brought relief to experts who anticipated a positive impact from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s recent efforts to clear some of its foreign exchange (FX) backlog, instilling confidence in the currency.
At the close of business on Friday, data from the official NAFEM forex market indicated a notable 6.24% appreciation, with the naira closing at N791.75 to a dollar.
This reflects a significant gain of N49.39 or a 5.24% increase compared to the previous day’s closing rate of N841.14.
