Also, the gross external reserve has been crawling upward since July 2022, and data from the Central Bank, as of July 15, puts Nigeria’s foreign reserve at $39.44 billion, suggesting a slight improvement by $10.9 million (0.03 percent) from the 39.43 billion recorded as of July 14, 2022

As oil crude price races back above $100 in the market, the external reserves are expected to increase on the back of the commodity. Also, the CBN’s market intervention cushioning the supply shock of the greenback and helping to stabilize the naira.
