The black market rate, which operates outside government regulations, often differs from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) rate. This article explores the latest exchange rates, factors influencing forex prices, and essential information for those involved in forex trading.

 

What is the meaning of Black Market Rate?

The black market rate refers to the unofficial exchange rate at which foreign currencies, like the US Dollar (USD), are bought and sold outside government-regulated financial institutions. It is typically higher than the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) due to factors like demand, limited forex supply, and market speculation.

For example, if the CBN official rate for $1 to Naira is ₦1,500, the black market rate may be around ₦1,600 or more, depending on supply and demand.

 

Why Do People Still Prefer to Trade with the Black Market?

People use the black market for forex transactions because:

  • Easier and Faster Access to Foreign Currency – Unlike banks, black market traders offer instant cash transactions.
  • Strict Bank Forex Policies – Banks have limits on dollar withdrawals and purchases.
  • Higher Exchange Rates – Some find black market rates more favorable than CBN’s rates.

What’s the Dollar to Naira Black Market Rate Today?

The local currency (abokiFx) opened at ₦1,510.00 per $1 at the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market, today, Thursday, 6 March 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, after it closed at ₦1,500.00 per $1 on Wednesday, 5 March 2025.

Note: Nigeria’s black market dollar-to-naira exchange rate is typically higher than the official exchange rate because the Federal Government does not regulate it. The rates you buy or sell forex may be slightly different from what is captured in this article because prices fluctuate.

FAQs

Why is the black market rate higher than the official rate?

The black market rate is higher due to demand, forex scarcity, and economic policies limiting access to dollars.

Is it legal to buy dollars from the black market in Nigeria?

The black market is unregulated, meaning transactions are not legally protected, but it is widely used.

Conclusion

The black market dollar-to-naira exchange rate remains a crucial part of Nigeria’s forex system. Due to forex scarcity, economic policies, and high demand, it continues to operate alongside official rates. While it offers convenience, it comes with risks such as price fluctuations and legal concerns. Understanding these dynamics helps individuals and businesses make informed forex decisions.
