The latest figures suggest that the cedi has come under pressure against the three currencies compared with the previous published rates. A sustained depreciation could raise the cost of imported goods and services, increase expenses for businesses that rely on foreign currency and add to inflationary pressures.

However, the effect on consumers and businesses will depend on how exchange rates evolve and how changes in the reference rates are reflected in transactions.

The Bank of Ghana said the rates represent average interbank rates used by commercial banks for transactions at the close of business on Monday, November 2.

The central bank’s reference rates may differ from the rates offered by individual commercial banks and foreign exchange bureaux.
