The naira fell to a four-month low on Tuesday at the official window as it traded at 1621. 12/dollar compared to N1611. 40/dollar on Monday.
This marked a 0.60 per cent depreciation from the previous day’s close.
This is despite recent interventions of the Central Bank of Nigeria during which it sold dollars to authorised dealers and eligible Bureau De Change operators, suggesting that foreign exchange demand continues to outweigh supply.
“In the interim, we expect the naira to remain weak, driven by tight market liquidity due to the CBN’s limited capacity to significantly intervene in the FX market,” Cordros Capital Limited recently said in an update.
