Ghana cedi named world’s best-performing currency by Bloomberg

Ghana's cedi has recently garnered international attention by being named the world's best-performing currency in April 2025, appreciating nearly 16% against the US dollar, according to Bloomberg. This significant turnaround marks a notable shift from its previous status as one of the weakest currencies globally. A Remarkable Reversal In 2022, the Ghanaian cedi faced severe depreciation, losing over 50% of its value and ranking among the world's worst-performing currencies.

Consumer price inflation fell to 21.2% in April, down from 22.4% in March, marking the lowest rate […]
