Naira Continues Free Fall At Parallel Market

The lingering foreign exchange scarcity in the country has continued to worsen even as the exchange rate on the parallel market is inching towards N590/$1.

 Checks by Punch on Tuesday showed that the exchange rate stood at N585/$1 and N785/£1 on the black market as against the N582/$1 last Friday.

Insiders told Punch that things may worsen even further as electioneering intensifies, adding that politicians had begun to mop up dollars, driving up the demand.
