Shift in Currency Valuation
In a rather dramatic development, the once overvalued Naira is now undervalued, says the Bank of America.
This shift is a fallout from President Bola Tinubu’s radical foreign exchange reform.
Since the CBN scrapped multiple exchange rates on June 14, 2023, the Naira has depreciated by over 60 per cent.
The Undervalued Naira and The Future
Currently trading at over ₦750 to one US dollar, the Naira is a shadow of its former self, which stood at ₦460 before the reform.
But there’s a silver lining to this cloud. Bank of America estimates the fair value of the Naira to be ₦680, indicating the currency is currently undervalued by 12 per cent.
Despite the challenges, analysts believe the Naira’s value should strengthen and appreciate in the future.
Hope on the Horizon
The bank also hints at potential improvements in Nigeria’s current account surplus, thanks to higher oil exports and a liberalized import regime.
With President Tinubu’s commitment to reducing oil theft by reforming the security sector and involving host communities, Nigeria could potentially increase its crude oil production from 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 1.6 million bpd within the next 12 to 18 months.
As we conclude this in-depth analysis of the Black Market Dollar to Naira Today 2nd July 2023, it’s clear that the currency market is an intricate web of influences and outcomes.
The future may seem uncertain, but as always, the resilience of Nigerians, coupled with prudent policy implementation, will steer the economic ship towards prosperous shores.
