After months of consecutive declines, Nigeria’s external reserves increased by $123.3 million in July.

According to the most recent figures obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria on Wednesday, this is the case.

According to CBN data, reserves increased from $33.27 billion on July 1 to $33.40 billion on July 30.

The slight increase for the month of July came after a $300 million addition to reserves in less than two weeks, pushing reserves to $33.08 billion on July 12.
As the CBN intensifies its efforts to stabilize the Naira, the increase in reserves will be welcomed by the Nigerian economy.
