Naira’s Recent Slide:
What to Expect in the Coming Week
(June 17–23, 2025)

Over the past three weeks, the Nigerian Naira has shown persistent weakness against the U.S. Dollar, closing at ₦1,595/$1 on June 14, 2025, compared to ₦1,608/$1 on May 26. This may seem like a minor change, but the underlying trend paints a bigger picture.

What the Numbers Say

Analyzing the data from May 26 to June 14:

  • The average daily change was negative, with 11 out of 19 days showing a decline in Naira value.

  • The biggest single-day dip occurred on June 12, when the Naira dropped from ₦1,605 to ₦1,604 after five straight losing sessions.

  • The only notable uptick happened on June 8–9, with a mild recovery from ₦1,605 to ₦1,608.

This signals short-lived rebounds within a larger downtrend, suggesting traders and currency holders remain cautious.

Naira’s Recent Slide: What’s Driving the Decline?

  1. Increased Demand for FX: End-of-quarter obligations (imports, school fees, travel) likely fueled dollar demand.

  2. Inflationary Pressures: With Nigeria’s inflation still climbing, foreign investors remain hesitant.

  3. Uncertain Fiscal Policy: Mixed messaging on subsidy removals, monetary tightening, and fiscal balance has impacted confidence in the Naira.

  4. Oil Revenues & Global Markets: While oil prices are relatively stable, Nigeria’s inability to scale production or reduce dependency on imports weighs on FX reserves.
