Exchange rate falls to N795/$1 at I&E Window

The exchange rate between the dollar and naira fell to N795/$ at the investor & exporter window yesterday at the close of business from the N803/$1 on Friday, July 15.

This is coming after the lowest ever the exchange rate fell  since Nigeria adopted the managed float exchange rate system and the first time the rate closed above N800/$1 last week.

The market opened at N782.79/4. It reached a peak of N832 and a low of N699.5 before closing at N795/$
