Naira hits 620/$ at parallel market amid surge in FX demand

March 13, 2023

The naira, on Thursday, fell to N620 per dollar at the parallel market amid the lingering scarcity of the greenback.

The figure represents a depreciation of N5 or 0.8 percent from the N615 it traded last week.

Currency traders known as Bureaux De Change operators (BDCs), who spoke to TheCable in Lagos, said there was increased demand for the dollar by importers at the street market.

The traders put the buying price of the dollar at N614 and the selling price at N620, leaving a profit margin of N5.
According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the parallel market is not a true reflection of the country’s exchange rate.
At the official market, checks by TheCable showed that the naira also depreciated by 0.36 percent to close at 424.58 to a dollar on Wednesday, according to FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange, a platform that oversees foreign-exchange trading in Nigeria. As the Russia-Ukraine war escalates, global markets continue to face economic uncertainties.

On Tuesday, the euro fell to parity against the dollar for the first time in almost 20 years. Street traders across forex markets in Lagos who spoke to TheCable quoted the naira at N622 to a euro.
