Ethiopian Birr to Nigerian Naira exchange rate history
Official vs Parallel Market Rate
Indicative premiumIndicative premium, reviewed 2026-06-19. Indicative — reviewed June 2026 (post-floating reform narrowing; Reuters / IMF Article IV)
The parallel rate shown is an indicative, community-aggregated figure sourced from MomoCalc parallel-rate tracker. MomoCalc does not buy, sell, or set currency rates. Parallel rates vary by location, dealer, and time of day, and trading outside licensed channels may carry legal and security risks. Always confirm current rates with a licensed dealer before transacting. Educational only — not financial advice.
About the Ethiopian Birr
The Ethiopian Birr (ETB, Br) is the official currency of Ethiopia, issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia. The Birr is subdivided into 100 santim. Ethiopia operated a heavily managed exchange-rate regime for many years, with a wide gap between the official and parallel-market Birr rates. In July 2024 the National Bank moved to a market-determined exchange rate as part of a broader IMF-supported reform programme; the Birr devalued sharply — roughly 30% against the USD in the days following the policy shift — and the official window subsequently converged closer to where the parallel market had been trading. For diaspora inflows to Telebirr and the M-Pesa Ethiopia rollout, the post-reform Birr rate is materially more competitive than under the prior administered regime.
About the Nigerian Naira
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ₦) is the official currency of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) since 1973 when it replaced the Nigerian pound. Subdivided into 100 kobo, the Naira is one of Africa's most-traded currencies and the principal medium of exchange for the continent's largest economy. Since the CBN's 2023 unification of the parallel and official exchange rate windows through what it calls the NAFEM mechanism, the Naira has traded under market-driven pricing rather than the previous administered peg. Nigeria receives an estimated 20 billion USD a year in formal remittances, and for inbound flows to MTN MoMo PSB, OPay, PalmPay and Moniepoint the published Naira rate is now typically within 1%-3% of the parallel market — a sharp narrowing compared to the 30%-60% gaps that prevailed before unification.
