Tackling complexities of galamsey: Govt pledges to fund pollutants removal from rivers, farmlands

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. This decline was attributed to unsustainable debt levels, high inflation, and dwindling foreign exchange reserves. The situation prompted the Ghanaian government to seek a $3 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stabilize the economy. Economic Recovery and Currency Appreciation The cedi's recent appreciation has had a positive impact on Ghana's economy. Consumer price inflation fell to 21.2% in April, down from 22.4% in March, marking the lowest rate […]
