Factors Influencing Foreign Exchange Rates
- Inflation Rates: The exchange rate is directly impacted by inflation. Stabilizing the Nigerian economy and controlling inflation can contribute to the strengthening of the Naira against the Pound.
- Interest Rates: Keep a watchful eye on interest rates, as a rise in the rates at which banks lend money can contract the economy, leading to a depreciation of the Naira.
- Government Debt: National debt levels influence investor confidence and fund influx. Higher inflows can favor the Naira in the exchange market.
- Speculators: Speculative activities can significantly impact exchange rates. Anticipated gains can lead to hoarding, causing fluctuations in the Naira’s value.
- Conditions of Trade: Favorable trade terms can enhance the Naira’s value. Nigeria’s current trade deficit, sourcing products from various countries, including China and India, plays a role in the exchange rate dynamics.
