How USD/NGN Exchange Rates Work
Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in the global foreign exchange (forex) market, the largest financial market in the world with over $6 trillion traded daily.
Floating vs Fixed Rates: Most major currencies like USD and NGN have floating exchange rates, meaning their value is determined by market forces. Some currencies are pegged to another currency (usually USD) at a fixed rate.
Bid and Ask Prices: In forex markets, currencies are quoted with a bid price (what buyers pay) and ask price (what sellers receive). The mid-market rate shown on this page is the midpoint between these two prices.

What is the CBN rate for USD/NGN?
The CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) rate is the official exchange rate set by Nigeria's central bank. This rate is used for official government transactions and some regulated business dealings. However, the parallel market rate, which reflects actual supply and demand, is often significantly different and is the rate most Nigerians encounter in daily currency exchanges.
Why is there a difference between CBN and parallel market rates?
The gap between CBN and parallel market rates exists due to foreign currency supply restrictions, high demand for foreign exchange, and limited access to official channels. The parallel market (sometimes called "black market") operates based on actual market forces, while the CBN rate is controlled by the central bank.
