Understanding the Slide:

Several factors are intertwined with the Naira's depreciation:
Global Oil Price Slump: Nigeria's economy is heavily reliant on oil exports, and the recent plunge in global oil prices has significantly reduced government revenue. This has weakened the country's foreign exchange reserves, making it harder to defend the Naira's value.
Dollar Scarcity: The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has implemented measures to restrict access to dollars in an attempt to conserve reserves. This has limited dollar availability for businesses and individuals, further driving up the exchange rate.
Inflationary Pressures: Rising inflation erodes the purchasing power of the Naira, making imports more expensive and discouraging foreign investment. This creates a vicious cycle where a weaker Naira fuels inflation, and inflation weakens the Naira further.
Psychological Factors: Negative perceptions about the Nigerian economy and its future can lead to capital flight, where investors move their money abroad, further pressuring the Naira.
