Market observers attribute the stable pricing to recent policy measures introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, including the liberalisation of foreign exchange rules for exporters aimed at boosting dollar inflows.

The naira’s performance in the coming weeks will likely depend on foreign exchange supply, oil export earnings, diaspora remittances and the central bank’s monetary policy decisions.
