In the parallel market, Naira closed against the dollar at N615/$1, declining by 0.16 percent compared to N614/$1 traded on Friday of the previous week.

Foreign Reserves

Nigeria’s gross external reserve has been crawling upward since July 2022. According to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as of July 14, Nigeria’s foreign reserve stands at $39.43 billion, improving slightly by $6.9 million (0.02 percent) from the 39.42 billion recorded as of July 13.

The rising crude oil prices have been the major driver of the external reserves with the CBN’s market intervention cushioning the supply shock of the greenback and helping to stabilize the naira. However, as shortages of dollars persist in the market, the value of the naira may drop further.
