Brand News Day Nigeria gathers that the Naira appreciated against the United States Dollar by 0.16 per cent or 67 kobo at the Investors and Exporters (I&E) segment of the foreign exchange market on Friday, 11 February 2022.
Naira appreciated slightly against other foreign currencies as it closed at N416.00/$1 compared with N416.67/$1 of the previous session.
The growth posted by the local currency at the spot market on the final trading session of the week was defined by a low turnover of forex transactions, which stood at $84.65 million, 28.9 per cent or $25.1 million lower than the $109.75 million achieved a day earlier.
But against the Pound Sterling, the local currency closed flat on Friday, 11 February 2022, at N566.73/£1 and also remained unchanged against the Euro to settle at N477.42/€1.
