In the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEX), the Naira also saw an improvement, appreciating to N1,644.86 per dollar, compared to N1,660.83 per dollar on Wednesday.
According to data from FMDQ, the NAFEX rate reflected a N15.97 gain for the Naira, as it dropped from N1,660.83 to N1,644.86. This strengthened local currency was accompanied by a notable surge in dollar transactions, with the total turnover rising by 66% to $560.34 million, up from $337.07 million on Wednesday.
