Related Data

  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is NGN (Nigerian Naira)?

Unified multiple official exchange rates into a single, more market-reflective rate in June 2023 after years of an overvalued official rate that had fueled a large, persistent gap with the black-market rate.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: NGN
  • Symbol: โ‚ฆ
  • Subunit: 100 kobo = 1 naira
  • Issued by: Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

Why Does the INR/NGN Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/NGN rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The June 2023 rate unification - Nigeria merged its multiple official exchange rates into a single, more market-reflective one, a major structural shift after years of an overvalued official rate.
  • Nigeria's oil export revenue, historically its dominant foreign currency source, though production and pricing volatility have made this less reliable in recent years.
  • Central Bank of Nigeria monetary policy and its ongoing efforts to rebuild credibility after years of the old, distorted exchange rate system.
  • Nigeria's large informal/parallel market, which still exists alongside the official rate even after unification, though the gap between them has narrowed significantly.
  • India-Nigeria trade, a substantial relationship, notably Indian imports of Nigerian oil.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Nigerian Naira change so much in value recently?

In June 2023, Nigeria unified its multiple official exchange rates (which had diverged significantly from the real market rate over the years) into a single, more market-reflective rate, causing a sharp, one-time devaluation as the official price caught up with reality.

Is the Nigerian Naira pegged to the US Dollar?

No, it's meant to be a more market-determined float since the 2023 reform, though the Central Bank of Nigeria still manages it actively rather than leaving it to trade completely freely.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
