The black market is often used by individuals and businesses who cannot access the official market due to scarcity, restrictions, or regulations.

The black market exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the Nigerian naira fluctuates daily depending on the supply and demand of the currencies, as well as other factors such as inflation, political instability, and economic policies.

The black market rate is usually higher than the official rate, meaning that the naira is weaker in the black market.

This is the rate that the CBN uses for its transactions and interventions in the foreign exchange market. The official rate is also the basis for the exchange rates of other foreign currencies, such as the euro, the dollar and the Chinese yuan.

The difference between the black market rate and the official rate is called the parallel market premium. The parallel market premium indicates the degree of divergence between the official and unofficial markets, and reflects the level of confidence in the naira and the CBN’s policies.
