The naira ended the week with a gain of N7.10 in the official foreign exchange market as foreign capital inflows surged to almost $21 billion in the first 10 months of 2025, marking one of the strongest investment rebounds Nigeria has recorded in years.
The performance of the currency over the five trading days of the week reflected renewed confidence from foreign investors, reinforced by recent policy reforms and improving macroeconomic conditions.
After Friday’s trading session, the naira appreciated by 0.5 percent, with the dollar quoted at N1,446.74 compared with N1,453.84 on Monday, according to data released by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Even though the currency slipped slightly by 0.2 percent from N1,443.90 at the close of trading on Thursday, it still recorded a stronger week overall.
