Mid-market vs retail: The live converter shows the mid-market rate; retail spreads typically range from 2–5% depending on provider and method.
What moves it: Structural drivers include Nigeria’s oil revenue, central bank policies, parallel market premiums, and UK interest rate decisions.

Data source: European Central Bank reference rates via Frankfurter — a mid-market benchmark, not a retail quote

What drives the GBP/NGN relationship

The exchange rate between the British pound and Nigerian naira is shaped by Nigeria’s reliance on oil exports, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s managed float, and the spread between official and parallel market rates. UK monetary policy, inflation differentials, and global risk sentiment also influence the pair. Capital controls and dollar scarcity in Nigeria create persistent volatility.
