Ghana Cedi Gains Ground as Dollar Weakness Boosts Currency Outlook

The Ghanaian cedi is showing signs of recovery, supported by favourable external conditions and improving market sentiment.

Ghana Cocoa Farmers and Clerks Count Losses After Price Reduction

Some cocoa purchasing clerks and farmers in the Upper West Akyem Municipality say they are facing serious financial losses following the government’s recent reduction in cocoa prices. The clerks explained that delays in the release of funds from the Ghana Cocoa Board forced many of them to take bank loans to buy cocoa beans from farmers. Because a portion of the beans was purchased at the previous price, they now fear they will struggle to absorb the difference and repay their loans under the new pricing structure. According to them, the situation has created growing tension in several farming communities.
