  • Nigeria’s Net Foreign Exchange Reserve (NFER) has increased to $23.11 billion, the highest level in over three years.

Nigeria’s Net Foreign Exchange Reserve (NFER) has increased to $23.11 billion, the highest level in over three years, reflecting a substantial improvement in the country’s external liquidity, reduced short-term obligations, and renewed investor confidence.
