Analyst View
Naira exchange rate was flat at the official window against the Dollar on Friday 29th of November to N415.07/$1.  The Naira also traded flat at the parallel market closing at the previous day value of N560/$1. The Naira is significantly trailing the Dollar by a wide margin due to the import-dependent structure of the Nigerian economy. However, the Naira has been appreciating against the dollar in recent days due to some steps being taken by the CBN and the recently raised Eurobonds that have moderated the sliding effect. The fallen value of the Naira at the black market rides on hoarding and speculative purchases.
