Niger’s official exchange rate in 2025 stood at 627.43 units per U.S. dollar, placing the country 39th in the world and matching the levels recorded for peers such as Mali, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea and Chad. Over the 66‑year series beginning in 1960, the rate has more than doubled from an early‑period value of 245.20, reflecting persistent macro‑economic pressures and periodic devaluations. The all‑time high of 732.40 was reached in 2001, a year that coincided with sharp declines in commodity prices and widening fiscal deficits, while the lowest point of 211.28 occurred in 1980 during a brief period of relative price stability and limited external debt. The long‑term upward trajectory suggests that without substantial improvements in export diversification, fiscal consolidation and monetary policy credibility, the exchange rate is likely to remain on a depreciating path, though a sustained inflow of foreign investment could moderate future depreciation.
