According to the 2025 Annual Report and Statement of Accounts published by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria has recorded total foreign exchange (FX) inflows of US$109.86 billion in 2025, representing a 13.81% increase from US$96.53 billion in 2024.
This growth was driven largely by autonomous inflows, particularly non-oil export receipts and capital importation.
Net FX inflows rose to US$60.81 billion, despite a 27.83% increase in aggregate outflows to US$49.05 billion and a 59.36% rise in overall FX utilisation, which reached US$42.83 billion.
FX utilisation was largely concentrated in invisible imports and visible imports for the industrial sector, the latter accounting for 42.11% of total utilisation.
Meanwhile, the decline in CBN-sourced inflows was primarily attributed to lower receipts from government debt and foreign exchange swap transactions.
