Nigeria’s foreign reserves fall $1bn in 12 days
Nigeria’s foreign reserves fell to $33.4 billion as at February 10, a drop of $1 billion over the previous 12 days as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sold hard currency to try to defend a plunging naira.
The Nigerian currency has been witnessing a plunge due to the continuous fall in global oil prices since June last year.
Oil accounts for more than 70 percent of Nigeria’s revenue.
