The changes could affect the cedi equivalent of payments for imported goods, overseas purchases, tuition fees and other foreign-currency obligations. However, the interbank rates do not necessarily reflect the exact prices individuals will receive when buying or selling foreign currencies.

The Bank of Ghana’s daily reference rate is calculated using transaction data submitted by banks, including eligible interbank transactions and certain transactions with their clients. The published closing rate uses a weighted median intended to reflect prevailing market conditions.

Commercial banks and forex bureaux may apply different buying and selling rates, so customers should confirm the rates available to them before completing transactions.
