Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Naira on Thursday recorded its first gain in 2024.<\/p>\n

Data from FMDQ showed that the Naira appreciated and traded at N895.23 per US dollar on Thursday compared to N1,035.12 per US dollar on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The gain represented currency appreciated 13.51 per cent against the previous day\u2019s figure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the parallel market, the Naira dropped marginally to exchange at N1230\/$1, representing a 0.81 per cent decline from the N1,220 per dollar it quoted on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The development comes as forex turnover at the close of the trading was $68.49 million, representing a 20.06 per cent decrease compared to the previous day.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian federal government received the $2.25 billion foreign exchange support loan from the African Import-Export Bank barely a week ago.<\/p>\n

Experts within the financial sector predicted that a $2.25 billion forex loan from Afrexim would help stabilize the FX market.<\/p>\n
