Nigeria’s external reserves depreciated further by 0.07% on Tuesday to stand at $38.63 billion from $38.65 billion recorded as of the previous day. The decline in the external reserve level can be attributed to the continuous intervention by the Central Bank in the FX market in order to ensure the stability of the local currency.
