The CBN unified the foreign exchange market segments on 14 June 2023 (cbn-fx-2023-06), so the rate series before and after mid-2023 are not comparable. Rates used in this profile (own calculations): bank loan stocks at the end-of-period rate of the stock date (end-2025 1,435.7571, end-June 2026 1,379.6842), 2026 budget and programme amounts at the end-August 2026 rate of 1,332.9396, full-year 2025 flows at the 2025 average of 1,518.38 and full-year 2024 flows at 1,478.97.
