The Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) and the parallel market are two major segments of Nigeria’s foreign exchange market, with rates varying according to currency supply, demand and market conditions.

As of Monday, November 2, 2026, the latest available figures indicate that the official NFEM rate stood at ₦1,346.26 per dollar, while the parallel market quoted the dollar at approximately ₦1,386.36.
