Range: Maximum ₦1,564, Minimum ₦1,518

The official rate is influenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and formal exchange platforms like banks and authorized forex dealers.

Factors Affecting the Rate:

CBN Policies: The CBN’s interventions, such as selling dollars to Bureau De Change operators, aim to stabilize the Naira.

 Economic Conditions: Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves, oil prices, and inflation (around 34.2% as of recent data) impact the official rate. Global demand for USD and local forex supply constraints also play a role.

Recent Trend: On June 27, 2025, the official rate was approximately ₦1,540.88, with a slight decline of 0.15% from the previous session, suggesting relative stability.

Average Estimate: Around ₦1,565 NGN, based on recent black market trends.

On June 29, 2025, rates were quoted around ₦1,570 (sell), with buy rates slightly lower at ₦1,550–₦1,560.

Speculation: Traders may inflate rates due to economic uncertainty or anticipated CBN policy changes.

Volatility: Black market rates are less regulated and can fluctuate significantly within a day or across regions. For instance, Lagos rates may differ from those in Kano or Abuja due to local market dynamics.

Official vs. Black Market Gap: The gap between the official and black market rates remains significant (around ₦20–₦70), reflecting ongoing challenges in Nigeria’s forex market.

Data Limitations: Forecasts are based on trends up to June 29, 2025, and real-time rates on June 30 may vary due to sudden economic developments or policy changes.
