The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced on Friday that it sold foreign currencies worth $106.5 million to authorized dealers over two days, Thursday and Friday.

Additionally, the CBN purchased foreign currencies worth $9.5 million from four authorized dealers.

In a statement, the CBN attributed recent movements in the foreign exchange market to demand pressure from corporate entities and the expected seasonal uptick during the summer period.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wishes to inform the general public that recent movements in the foreign exchange market are driven largely by demand pressure from corporate entities and the expected seasonal uptick during the summer period,” the statement read.
