Similarly, last month, CBN depreciated the naira by N7.75 in the window, as the FMDQ platform, showed that the I&E window rose to N393/$ at the close of business from N385.5/$ November 24 2020.
Data from FMDQ showed that the indicative exchange rate for the window rose to N410.25 per dollar from N394 per dollar on Wednesday, indicating N16.25 kobo depreciation of the naira.
However, the volume of dollars (turnover) traded in the window rose by 43 percent to $235.75 million from $164.81 million on Wednesday.
