Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s currency, the naira, depreciated against the US dollar on Wednesday at the foreign exchange market.<\/p>\n

Official data from FMDQ showed that the country\u2019s currency depreciated to N840.53 against the dollar at the close of work on Wednesday compared to N830.97 the previous day.<\/p>\n

The figure represents a N9.56 depreciation compared to the exchange rate at the close of work on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This is the second time the country\u2019s currency has depreciated on the official FX market since last week.<\/p>\n

Similarly, at the Parallel Market, Naira exchanged at N1,150\/$1 on Wednesday from N1,130\/$1 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the country\u2019s forex turnover increased by 61.86 per cent to $198.21 million.<\/p>\n

The development comes as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr Olayemi Cardoso, failed to hold a Monetary Policy Committee meeting for the second time in two months.<\/p>\n

The naira has fluctuated in the FX market since CBN introduced reforms in June this year.<\/p>\n
