NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the naira has suffered a significant depreciation on the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) window, falling to N1,561.98/$1 on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
According to data from the FMDQ Securities Exchange, the naira depreciated by 2% from N1,532.58/$1 recorded the previous day.
This is the third consecutive deprecation amid stronger external reserves and rising foreign exchange (FX) turnover.
It is also the lowest level since March 18, 2024, when it was N1,597.25/$1, as the naira nears N1,600 less than three weeks after it crossed the N1,500 ceiling.
The difference between the black market rate and the official rate is called the parallel market premium. The parallel market premium indicates the degree of divergence between the official and unofficial markets and reflects the level of confidence in the naira and the CBN’s policies.
Here are some of the causes of the dwindling dollar-to-naira exchange rate.
Inflation Rates: It is well known that inflation directly impacts black market exchange rates. If the Nigerian economy can be stabilized and inflation is controlled, the naira will benefit; however, if the naira continues to fall, it may indicate that food and other necessities are becoming more expensive daily.
Interest Rates: Another tool to keep an eye on is interest rates. If the interest rate at which banks lend money rises, it would harm the economy, causing it to contract and, as a result, the value of the naira to fall.
Government Debt: National debt can impact investor confidence and, as a result, the influx of funds into the economy. If inflows are high, the naira exchange rate will rise in favour of the naira.
Speculators: Speculators frequently impact the naira-to-dollar exchange rate. They stockpile money in anticipation of a gain, causing the naira to plummet even lower.
Conditions of Trade: Favorable trade terms will increase the value of the naira to the dollar, although Nigeria is currently experiencing a trade deficit. Everything comes from China, India, and the majority of Asian countries.
