Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate Today, Wednesday, August 18, 2021

Nigeria’s economic uncertainty continues to weigh on the Nigerian Naira value as the local currency remained near record lows against its global counterparts.

The Naira exchanged at N517 to a United States Dollar on Wednesday at the parallel market, popularly known as the black market. Against the British Pound and the Euro, the local currency traded at N707 and N606, respectively.

At the Bureau de Change segment, the Naira exchanged at N516 to a United States Dollar, N708 to a British Pound and N606 to a single Euro.

Economic uncertainty continues to dictate the Nigerian Naira’s outlook, especially after the series of changes implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to prop up the value of the local currency, curb the activities of speculators and hoarders at the unregulated black market and converge the nation’s exchange rates.

However, weak foreign reserves amid chronic forex scarcity remained the bane of Nigeria’s forex predicament. The inability of the Central Bank of Nigeria to service the economy with enough forex given the structure of the economy as an import-dependent economy continues to escalate the price of import goods and the profit of imports dependent businesses.
