The naira recorded a modest appreciation against the US dollar this week at the official market, according to figures released by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Analysts attributed the movement to increased dollar inflows from portfolio investors and improved liquidity following recent policy interventions.
The CBN is reportedly reviewing aspects of its foreign exchange framework, with a further announcement expected in the coming weeks.
