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. Over the past two weeks, the currency faced mild demand pressures at the start of the period, largely in line with market expectations. However, it regained ground in the latter half as broad “sell America” sentiment and sustained weakness in the United States dollar provided support to emerging and frontier market currencies. Interbank market performance In the interbank market, the cedi appreciated: 0.09% against the US dollar 0.86% against the pound sterling 1.16% against the euro It closed at mid-rates of GH¢10.97 to the dollar, GH¢14.81 to the pound, and GH¢12.93 to the euro.

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. Some farmers have reportedly refused to sell their cocoa at the current price, arguing that it does not reflect the cost of production. The concerns were shared with journalists during a press conference held in Koforidua, where both clerks and […]
