Nigeria's External Reserves Rise by $595m in 5 Days

Nigeria's foreign exchange reserves, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria, have increased by $595m to hit a one-month high of $26.196bn, in the last 5 days.


Five days ago, the reserves stood at $25.6bn, down from $26.21bn on July 28.

Reacting, Head of Research and Investment Advisory at SCM Capital Limited, Mr. Sewa Wusu, said several factors could cause the increase.

“The increase in international crude oil prices penultimate week on the heels of production freeze expectations from OPEC may have raised the external reserves position. Although we are currently witnessing production cut due to the militants’ vandalism, the lag effect of this crude price increases may have raised the reserves.”

He said another major factor that could have brought about the increase in external reserves was foreign investment.

  1. No matter what people say and think, I know that this government will deliver on their promises. It's unfortunate that the last government and it's members have sworn that Nigeria will not progress, Ndi Ojoo. We will move forward
