Supply and demand for the Pounds
The political and economic situation in UK and Nigeria
The value of the US dollar

Changes in market expectations and speculative activities can also intensify short-term exchange rate fluctuations.

Economic growth, monetary policy, inflation rates, political stability, global economic conditions, current account balance, interest rates and market sentiment all play a role in the strength of a currency.

Meanwhile, any negative impact would weaken the Pound.

Additionally, inconsistency in Nigerian government policies and a tight grip on currency controls have been noted to contribute significantly to widening the gap between the Central Bank of Nigeria (official rate) and the black market rates.

Just like you all know, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is mandated to regulate Nigeria's foreign currency supply, which means they oversee the supply chain-and history has proven that the supply has never been enough to cool down the market or meet the increasing demand.

Moreover, Nigeria being a largely import-dependent nation consistently faces quite high demand for dollars.

There are several factors responsible for this trend, including imports, travel, education, and commercial activities.

In recent years, Brexit negotiations and volatility related to Brexit also influenced the strength of the Pound.

When positive developments in trade agreements and economic adjustments occurred, the Pound strengthened.
