We thank God. May it be so if the fundamentals are put right. Fundamentals of making things for ourselves instead of relying mostly on imports

This is foolish talk from the governor. The cedi needs to come down further. Even if it'll be 1 cedi to 1 dollar

We can only see the stability of the cedi if it reflects on the market. The prices of goods and services remain the same high so what is this noise asiamah is making? Only ndc foolsoldiers will jubilate about this.

Cedi stabilization has nothing to do with bank of ghana effort.
It is the trad war ,that has caused the cedi depreciation against dollar.not ghana alone, every country is seen depreciation in their currency.

If it's the trade war, then all other currencies should also be appreciating against the dollar.

It's primarily the significant world currencies plus those of major gold exporters as Trump's erratic policies are driving the gold price to levels never seen before.

People looking forward to gold investment and cedi like all thr currencies of the world doing better. We were very lucky like if the T-Bill rates are this low the dollar would have shot up had it not been a clown in charge of America. We should quickly take advantage and correct the things that needs to. We should also keep in mind that when our currencies appreciate exports become expensive.

This man has no solution to the problem. We don't have the right systems in place to ensure stability of the Ghanaian Cedi so any measures that are put in place by these incompetent clowns will fail.

You know very well ots not your intervention that has caused the cedi to appreciate. When China and US finally settle we’ll see what the fundamentals are.
Have we increased our exports, increased our production, become more efficient that has caused the cedi to appreciate?
Give it another month or 2 and we’d know our smoothness level.infact, if its really the case, why are proces of goods and services still high?
And how about lending rates? The appreciation must translate and correlate, no?

Claiming that the BoG doesn't have a hand in the appreciation of the Cedi is untrue. BoG is the number one player in Ghana's forex transactions and therefore a key force in determining the exchange rate.

How can he say later that BoG will monitor the rate an keep it within a healthy band if they wouldn't adhere to a primary task of every Central Bank in this world by managing the currency as much as possible?

The news is, that the current global gold price is bringing huge extra USD into the country, which started over a year ago. The result is a very unusual trade surplus for Ghana which increases BoG reserves and her ability to actually manage the currency effectively.

Like he is stating correctly, this is good for the economy and likely to last for the foreseeable future. But as soon as the price of gold will return to more moderate levels the party will be over. Now is the time for the government to use this exceptional break the global markets have granted the country for the lasting benefit of the nation. We will see how that works.

Can someone stop this man. The drop in the dollar against the Ghana cedis is not because of Government of Ghana's effort in controlling volatility. It is simply USA's tarrifs levied on the world. As a result the world and for that matter, China and Japan the largest holders of USA bond are selling their bonds and moving them away from their treasury. The world no longer have confidence in the USA hence, the decline in the dollar against all currencies of the world. Ask yourself, if it is the Ghana cedis performing against the dollar we should start seeing drops in goods and services and other major currencies as the pounds should be dropping as well. Stop throwing dust in people's eyes please. I sympathise with NDC but I will not take this lie

It is a good move, but governor we don't expect you to tell as something different when important rises. For now, ongoing trade war has slow down imports so you can take all the credit.
