Analyst View
Naira appreciated marginally at the official window from its previous rate of N412.08/$1 to a new N411.79/$1 as of Thursday, September 16, 2021 however, the Naira depreciated further at the black market-end of the market to N560/1$ from the previous N557/$1. The Naira will definitely exceed N600/$1 before the end of the year, Nigerians should explore local alternatives as the cost of foreign inputs is now over the roof. The fallen value of the Naira at the black market rides on hoarding and speculative purchases.
