Nigeria\u2019s external reserves increased to $35.77 billion on Thursday up from the $33.09 Billion at the end of 2023.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThis is according to Thursday\u2019s data from the Central Bank of Nigeria on the country\u2019s external reserves movement.<\/p>\n

The figure represents a $2.68 billion increase in the country\u2019s external reserves in the past six months.<\/p>\n

Further data showed that Nigeria\u2019s foreign reserve crossed the $35.05bn on July 8 to the $35.77 mark on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to the recently released economic outlook by CBN, titled \u2018Macroeconomic Outlook: Price Discovery for Economic Stabilisation\u2019, the apex bank had projected a decline in the country\u2019s external reserves in 2024.<\/p>\n

The CBN based its assumption on continued payments of outstanding foreign exchange forward obligations, matured foreign exchange swaps, and debt service.<\/p>\n

The apex bank, however, said, \u201cthe expected improvement in crude oil earnings, together with recent reforms in the foreign exchange market and energy sector, however, would cushion the drop in external reserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlook also projected a marginal increase to $19.42 billion from $19.17 billion in 2023 for diaspora remittances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe external reserves, which stood at $33.09bn in 2023 could reduce slightly in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is on the assumption of continued payments of outstanding foreign exchange forward obligations, matured foreign exchange swaps, and debt service,\u201d it said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
