The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) disclosed in its latest data provided on its website that the country’s external reserves reached a total of $45.43 billion. This was recorded on January 23rd.

The new figure represents an increase of 2.87 per cent over the preceding figure of $45.35 billion published on January the 22nd.
