A parallel market is characterised by noncompliant behaviour with an institutional set of rules. has consistently maintained that the parallel market represented less than one percent of foreign exchange transactions and should never be used to determine Nigeria’s naira/dollar exchange rate.

At the official market, the currency appreciated by 0.06 percent to open at N413.79 against N415/ a dollar on Wednesday, according to details on FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange, a platform that oversees official foreign-exchange trading in Nigeria.
