Naira Holds Steady Against Dollar On June 21, 2025

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the naira was exchanging for ₦1,587 to 1 US dollar at the parallel market (black market) in Nigeria.

This reflects the current rate at which individuals are trading dollars for naira outside of official financial institutions.

This means that for every one dollar, you could get the equivalent in naira of ₦1,587 on June 21, 2025, maintaining the same rate as Friday, June 20. This indicates that the naira’s value remained stable against the dollar over the 24-hour period.

Saturday’s exchange rate shows consistency in the informal foreign exchange market, reflecting a steady performance of the local currency amid fluctuating market forces.

The black market rate represents the value at which individuals can trade their dollars for naira outside official exchange channels, where the currency’s value is largely influenced by supply and demand dynamics rather than central bank regulations.

Note that the Black Market Exchange rate is typically higher than the official exchange rate because it is not controlled by the government and responds more directly to market pressures and investor sentiment.

Today’s exchange rate is unchanged from Friday, June 20, when the naira also exchanged at ₦1,587 per dollar. (This stability may suggest a temporary balance between dollar demand and supply in the informal sector.)

The value of a country’s currency is determined by aggregate supply and demand, influenced by factors such as national interest rates, inflation, capital flow, and the overall money supply.

These forces, both internal and external, affect the strength of a nation’s currency and contribute to exchange rate fluctuations. The most common method to assess a currency’s value is through exchange rates. The two main exchange rate systems are the fixed rate and the floating rate systems, with the parallel market rate offering a real-time reflection of currency trends.

Investors and market participants closely monitor parallel market rates for a more immediate and practical reflection of currency trends, often making it a reliable indicator of short-term shifts in economic conditions.
