The Naira has been ranked 96th strongest currency in the world.

According to a report by Forbes Advisor, the ranking to determine the strongest of the 180-odd traditional fiat currencies recognised as legal tender worldwide was carried out based on their relative value against the US dollar.

Despite being the most traded currency on the global stage by some margin, the US dollar is not the strongest currency in the world.

Oman’s official currency, the Omani rial (OMR), is the world’s third strongest. One Omani rial currently exchanges for $2.60.

The Jordanian dinar (JOD) and the British pound (GBP) are the fourth and fifth strongest currencies in the world respectively. While one JOD exchanges for $1.41, £1 is currently worth $1.23.
