This marks a significant increase in the amount of money in the economy.

The CBN’s Money and Credit Data also highlighted that currency held outside banks reached a historic high of N3.79 trillion, accounting for 93.6 per cent of the total currency in circulation.

A breakdown of the first six months of the year shows that 2024 began with N3.65 trillion in circulation, reflecting a stable start aligned with typical post-holiday economic activities. By the end of February, this figure had modestly increased to N3.69 trillion, a growth of N43 billion or 1.18 per cent from January.

March recorded a more substantial rise, with the currency in circulation climbing to N3.87 trillion, marking a month-on-month increase of N175 billion or 4.76 per cent. The trend continued in April, with the figure reaching N3.92 trillion, an increase of N53 billion or 1.39 per cent from March, likely spurred by heightened economic activity during the Easter period.
