Nigerian Naira Faces Renewed Depreciation Against US Dollar in Official Market

尼日利亚奈拉在官方市场上兑美元面临再度贬值

Lagos, April 25, 2023 - The Nigerian Naira has resumed its downward trajectory against the US Dollar in the official foreign exchange market, raising fresh concerns among economic analysts and market watchers.

拉各斯，2023 年 4 月 25 日 - 在官方外汇市场上，尼日利亚奈拉兑美元汇率恢复了下跌趋势，引发了经济分析师和市场观察人士的新担忧。

On Monday, April 22, the local currency lost a significant 5.5% or N64.50 against the greenback in the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM). The exchange rate settled at N1,234.49/$1 compared to the previous session's N1,169.99/$1, marking a sharp reversal from recent gains.

4 月 22 日星期一，在尼日利亚自治外汇市场 (NAFEM)，当地货币兑美元大幅下跌 5.5%，即 N64.50。汇率结算于 N1,234.49/1 美元，而前一交易日为 N1,169.99/1 美元，标志着近期涨幅的急剧逆转。

This latest depreciation comes as the supply of foreign exchange (FX) to the spot market remains constrained. While the value of forex transactions increased yesterday by 27.1% or $23.49 million to $110.17 million, compared to the $86.68 million recorded the previous Friday, it remains below the levels required to support the stability of the Naira.

此次最新的贬值是由于现货市场的外汇供应仍然受到限制。尽管昨天外汇交易额增长了 27.1%，即 2349 万美元，达到 1.1017 亿美元，而上周五的交易额为 8668 万美元，但仍低于支持奈拉稳定所需的水平。

The recent depreciation of the Naira is particularly concerning given the currency's strong performance in recent months. The Naira had appreciated to a level where it was briefly touted as the best-performing currency globally, buoyed by the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) FX reforms and strategic economic policies. Last week, the exchange rate had strengthened impressively to around N1,072.74, with market traders projecting that it might even breach the N1,000/$1 mark.

鉴于奈拉近几个月的强劲表现，该货币最近的贬值尤其令人担忧。在尼日利亚中央银行（CBN）外汇改革和战略经济政策的推动下，奈拉升值至一度被誉为全球表现最佳货币的水平。上周，该汇率大幅走强至 N1,072.74 附近，市场交易商预计其甚至可能突破 N1,000/1 美元大关。

However, larger macroeconomic trends, including a stronger US Dollar amid rising inflation, have halted the Naira's upward momentum. Nevertheless, the Naira did improve its value against the Pound Sterling and the Euro on Monday. Against the Pound Sterling, it gained N14.88 to close the session at N1,431.31/£1, while against the Euro, it appreciated by N10.02 to sell at N1,228.09/€1.

然而，更大的宏观经济趋势，包括通胀上升导致美元走强，已经阻止了奈拉的上涨势头。尽管如此，周一奈拉兑英镑和欧元的价值确实有所提高。兑英镑上涨 N14.88，收盘价为 N1,431.31/£1；兑欧元则上涨 N10.02，收盘价为 N1,228.09/€1。

In the black market, the Nigerian currency also depreciated against the US Dollar, falling by N100 to trade at N1,250/$1, compared to the previous day's value of N1,150/$1.

在黑市中，尼日利亚货币也违反美元贬值，与前一天的价值N1,150/$ 1相比，贸易下降了N100。

Meanwhile, the digital currency market experienced a bearish trend yesterday, with most of the major tokens tracked by Business Post declining. Dogecoin (DOGE) led the losses with a 2.8% decline to $0.1583, while Ethereum (ETH) lost 1.6% to quote at $3,178.29. Other tokens that recorded losses included Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and Cardano (ADA).

与此同时，数字货币市场昨天经历了看跌趋势，Business Post追踪的大多数主要代币均下跌。狗狗币 (DOGE) 领跌，下跌 2.8%，至 0.1583 美元，而以太坊 (ETH) 下跌 1.6%，至 3,178.29 美元。其他出现亏损的代币包括莱特币 (LTC)、Solana (SOL)、币安币 (BNB) 和卡尔达诺 (ADA)。

However, Ripple (XRP) and Bitcoin (BTC) managed to buck the trend and posted gains. XRP jumped by 2.1% to $0.5502, while BTC rose by 0.1% to $66,448.95. The US Dollar Tether (USDT) and the US Dollar Coin (USDC) remained unchanged at $1.00 each.

然而，瑞波币（XRP）和比特币（BTC）却逆势上涨。 XRP 上涨 2.1% 至 0.5502 美元，BTC 上涨 0.1% 至 66,448.95 美元。美元泰达币 (USDT) 和美元硬币 (USDC) 均维持在 1.00 美元不变。

The Naira's renewed depreciation is likely to raise concerns among businesses and investors who may perceive it as a sign of economic uncertainty. The CBN is expected to closely monitor the situation and take appropriate measures to stabilize the currency and maintain macroeconomic stability.

奈拉再次贬值可能会引起企业和投资者的担忧，他们可能将其视为经济不确定性的迹象。预计央行将密切关注事态发展，采取适当措施稳定币值，维护宏观经济稳定。
