Nigerian Naira Strengthens Against Major Currencies, Analysts Predict Stability Amid CBN's New Exchange Rates

The Nigerian Naira opened the last week of 2025 strong against the US Dollar, Pound Sterling, and Euro. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released new exchange rates, leading to gains for the Naira in the official and parallel markets.

Analysts expect the Naira to remain stable in the near term, supported by policy measures and market confidence. Notably, Wale Edun reassured investors of Nigeria's stable economy, while economist Bismarck Rewane projected further improvement in the Naira's trading band.

The CBN's interventions and market dynamics are key factors influencing the currency's performance.
