Market Insight
Financial experts say the naira could remain relatively stable if the Central Bank sustains foreign exchange interventions and improves dollar supply to the market.
In addition, stronger oil earnings and improved investor confidence may help reduce pressure on the local currency in the coming weeks. However, high demand in the parallel market continues to influence exchange rate movements.
