Floating has undervalued naira, Bank of America declares
President Bola Tinubu’s radical foreign exchange reform has caused a significant shift in Nigeria’s currency, the naira, from being overvalued to now being undervalued. According to analysts at Bank of America, since the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) scrapped multiple exchange rates on June 14, 2023, the naira has depreciated by over 60 per cent. It is now trading at over ₦750 to one US dollar, compared to ₦460 before the reform.
Bank of America estimates the fair value of the naira to be ₦680, which means the currency is currently undervalued by 12 per cent. The analysts believe that despite the present challenges, the naira’s value should strengthen and appreciate in the future.
The bank also suggests that Nigeria’s current account surplus could improve further due to higher oil exports (estimated $12 billion more) and a liberalized import regime ($10 billion increase in non-oil imports). They propose that President Tinubu’s next crucial step should be to reduce oil theft by reforming the security sector and involving host communities near the pipelines. If successful, Bank of America foresees a potential increase in Nigeria’s crude oil production from 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 1.6 million bpd within the next 12 to 18 months. This would be a significant improvement, potentially reaching pre-pandemic production levels.
