The latest rates come amid renewed pressure on the foreign exchange market, with the central bank continuing to inject dollars to improve market liquidity and manage volatility.

The FX Intermediation Programme accounted for about US$7.45 billion, while another US$811 million was supplied through the FX Intervention Programme. The central bank was also expected to provide up to US$1 billion through the intermediation programme in August.

The increased intervention follows a 10.61% depreciation of the cedi against the US dollar by the end of July. Demand for foreign currency, particularly from the energy sector, has been identified as one of the factors contributing to the pressure. Energy companies require significant amounts of foreign exchange to pay for crude oil imports, petroleum products and payments to power producers.

Ghana's foreign exchange reserves have also come under attention, with reports putting the country's reserves at more than US$12 billion. The Bank of Ghana has maintained that it has the capacity to intervene in the market when necessary and ensure that foreign exchange trading remains orderly.

Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Johnson Asiama has meanwhile reiterated the central bank's commitment to protecting the cedi and maintaining economic stability. Speaking in Sunyani, he said the Bank would continue to pursue policies aimed at supporting the currency, containing inflation and safeguarding financial stability.

"The progress we have made is encouraging, but we must not become complacent," Dr Asiama said. He also cautioned that global developments, including geopolitical tensions and higher crude oil prices, could put additional pressure on the cedi and domestic prices.

The Governor said the Bank's 14% policy rate provides room to keep inflation under control while supporting economic activity, investment and growth.
