This is just the calm before the storm!!!!! After the IMF bailout is rolled out with senseless cutting of social intervention programs and support, we'll see.
So have consumer prices gone down? I guess not, what they may not have realized is that the harbors are empty, businesses are holding off on imports, so the demand for foreign exchange has gone down until businesses start imp ...

FUCKIN IDIOT if the NDC are so great why did their own supporters whom they took to the world cup want to seek asylum in Brazil because that imbecile mahama and his fools have messed up the country.
The price of dollars and other foreign currency went up because there was a shortage. After the sale of the euro bond we now have a billion dollars so the supply of dollars have gone up pushing the price down. After the ndc ...

ARE GHANAIANS GOING TO VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE FOR WORKING FOR JUST 2 YEARS AND LOOTING FOR SIX YEARS?
NPP is a sad Ghana story. Haba! You are wishing your own country bad and God is blessing it under President Mahama and you are sad and crying? What kind of people are theses!
how long is cedi going to stabilize? let's hope for the best.
Yaw, you are right that the cedi appreciation could be cut short if the dumsor (energy crisis)continues for long. I believe Economists are giving too much credit to the IMF intervention because the bail out is yet to start.

THE WORD IS DIVIDEND AND NOT "DIVIDENCE" ( CHECK YOUR ASHANTI ENGLISH GRAMMAR ) PLEASE!!!
Nee if the only problem you have in this World is my "Ashanti" English,then you don`t have a problem at all.
Thanks anyway for your correction.

ndc lies
Borrowing heavily to pay you bills does no make you rich, not does it make you debt-free. It's not even a strategy. Just wait until John Mahama decides how much to give to Ibrahim Mahama and you see what happens to the cedi.
Stop the nonsense, how's he vindicated? It only happened because of the IMF loan, Terper did nothing to stabilize it.
THANK GOD THE CEDI IS GAINING GROUNDS NOW.
ONE KUMASI BURGER COME TO THE PORT WITH ALL HIS MONEY CHANGED TO DOLLARS EARLIER ON AND AFTER THE HOLIDAYS THE DOLLAR HAD DROP DRASTICALLY HE THEN STATED INSULTING THE PRESIDENT FOR THE DROP OF THE DOLLAR.HAHAHA
You surely do not have examples of Ewe businessman who lost similar, do you? You sound funny, PQ!
Where is Pro. Dr. Pink Sheets? What has he to tell us now?
Hello,
The dollar has been stabilized for now at 3.5 cedis. It was 2.2 cedis in January. Solution is when it comes back to 2.2 cedis. They have just halted the rise not resolved the problem. It will rise again this Christm ...

Bring some discipline in your spending. Cut down on waste. Invest in capital projects that will create jobs for the people. Give them social interventions to reduce their pain.
Keep it up!
Daniel, please understand that, social interventions is not found in the dictionary of IMF bailout!!

Hahaha what a propaganda?
AND SO THE CEDI IS ALREADY RESPECTED BY IMF? JUST A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT, AND LISEN TO THE GOVT. PAY ALL THE ARREARS OWED TO WORKERS, AND INREASE THE WAGES OF ALL WORKERS.
where are the structural adjustments? a sudden inflow of cash cannot stabilize cedi for a long period of time. and the cash was at what cost? 25% i last heard. this is a circus.
You will win in 2016
NDC talking too much, prez mahama stop that foolish talks and do the work.
