Dollar To Naira Exchange Rate For May 17, 2022

 

The exchange rate between the Naira and the US dollar according to the data released on the FMDQ Security Exchange the official forex trading portal has showed that the Naira opened at  ₦417.30 per dollar on Monday, May 16, 2022, and closed at ₦421.50 per $1 on Monday, May 16, 2022.

Even though the dollar opened in the parallel market for ₦587 per $1 today, the CBN does not recognise the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market.

The apex bank has therefore directed anyone who requires forex to approach their bank, insisting that the I&E window is the only known exchange.

“The only exchange rate remains the I&E window, which is the market we expect everybody who wishes to procure or sell forex to get it,” said the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

“I am sorry to say that I do not, and I do not intend to recognise any FX in the market.

“Go to your bank. Even if your limit is above what the bank is selling, put it forward, and we will look into it. If you want to sell the dollar, go to your bank and sell it,” he said during a press briefing on September 17, 2021.

There is uncertainty in the market as prices move up and down in a directionless manner, thereby making it unreliable.
