Autonomous inflow also fell by 19.2 per cent to $3.31 billion from $4.09 billion, due to decreases in total over-the-counter (OTC) purchases. Similarly, total foreign exchange outflow declined by 20.7 per cent to $3.13 billion from $3.95 billion in April.

Foreign exchange outflow through the CBN declined by 25.8 per cent to $2.12 billion from $2.86 billion in April, attributed, largely, to decreases in matured swap transactions, drawings on letters of credits (LCs), third-party MDAs transfers, and foreign exchange sales at the Investors and Exporters (I&E) and the Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS) windows.
