​Lagos — The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced a record-breaking economic feat: Nigeria’s foreign reserves have surged above $52.5 billion as of July 17, 2026. This marks a 17-year high, comfortably surpassing the Apex Bank’s annual target.

​CBN officials attribute this growth to sustained inflows and renewed investor confidence, which have also significantly narrowed the gap between official and bureau de change exchange rates to below 2%. Following months of board reforms aimed at establishing a foundation for economic growth, job creation, and poverty alleviation, the CBN remains optimistic that these figures signal a robust new phase for the Nigerian economy.
