Ghana's cedi now trading at GH¢17.15 to $1

Ghana’s local currency continues to experience persistent depreciation against major trading currencies, especially the US dollar, the British Pound and the Euro

The cedi, under pressure throughout the year, recorded relative stability in July this year, while inflationary pressures continued declining.

However, checks by GhanaWeb Business as of November 8, 2024, at 10:00 AM show that the cedi is trading at GH¢17.15 to the dollar, while the pound is trading at GH¢21.77 some major forex bureaus across the country.

Additionally, the Euro is trading at GH¢18.17 on the retail market.

The decline of the cedi against major trading currencies will further worsen the woes of the Ghanaian economy due to businesses' pricing behaviour.

According to Bloomberg, the cedi has traded almost 1% lower against the dollar in the past month after declining in value by almost 24% this year.
