It just shows that if $20m a day in additional injection of fx can strengthen the currency so rapidly then imagine if we would actually encourage industry and agricultural to grow and export to bring in this additional $ 20m additional fx a day on long term and sustainable basis by producing and not just borrowing.

This is enough evidence to declare total failure on the present government.

One used to blame currency depreciations on a conspiracy hypothesis.

But this conspiracy claim is obviously not true if other currencies are appreciating or at least depreciating at a slower rate than Ghana's currency.

Ghana is exceptionally rich in resources by African standards and therefore has no excuse to maintain the worst performing currency on the continent.

The only possible reasons for such poor fiscal performance will be poorest possible leadership, lowest possible worker motivation and total shortage or lack of creativity in problem solving.

The BOG has been good students of the NDC Government using their propaganda play book.

BOG keep on saying the Cedi will end the year at 3.90 when at the time of the announcement the cedi was at 4.20.

What are these BOG people doing. May be the BOG's own exchange rate is coming from the ministers who said the cedi was depreciating due to the influence of dwarfs and juju.

In any civilized country the president after having inflicted so much pain on his people would have announced that he would at least not contest the next elections.
But in Africa the criminal-minded like Asiedu Nketiah wouldn't even contemplate doing this. Why...your guess is as good as mine.

And do you know the major foreign exchange earner for the country Gambia headed by Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh Babili Mansa, it is peanuts(groundnuts).
This John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't will be fired massively in 2016 at the ballot box, massively.

This is another propaganda against President Mahama and his ministers of state. Many currencies in Africa has no comparable values but face value. The Ghana Cedi is really matching the currencies of the world's economic powers toe to toe and this shows how really good our economists are. How many African currencies are trading with the dollar in single digit apart from the the Rand and the Cedi? Look out for the final demolition of the NPP in 2016. Illiterate commentator NPP gurus. You will sweat in 2016 and sleep in the cold in January 2017. Watch out for the hard working NDC.

NONSENSE!!!!. They keep telling us all is well when nothing is well. Ghana is so useless it is not even worthy of occupying the land in west Africa. The IQ of the 'some' Ghanaians is worst than a dog in UK. We are still learning Swahili in Legon, when even the Kenyans, ugandans etc have stopped speaking the language. Our national TV is used to broadcast nonsense from Obinim and Kumchacha instead of listening to Dambisa Moyo. How useless can a country be? Our presidential lounge is a cocaine trafficking hub for misfits like Nayale. Others like Woyome freely squander our money and walk free. Are we idiots and dont even realise!!!! We shall continue to live in darkness. We shall continue to beg the world for money, and we shall never be independent because we are sick people. Sick in the mind.

I beats my imagination why this Governor is still at the post. He governs by trial and error and sometimes outright lies. The so called injection of $20m a day or a week was lie.
