Naira’s appreciation comes as the dollar supply to the official window increased to above $100 million compared to $70.42 million during the mid-week session.
Also, at the black market, the value of the local currency also appreciated to the dollar to trade at N730/$1 in contrast to N735/$1 on Wednesday.
CBN, at its last Monetary policy meeting, which increased the interest rate to 15.5%, promised that the aggressive rate hike would slow capital outflows and likely attract capital inflows and appreciate the naira.
