The latest figures compare with the previous rates of GH¢15.4951 for buying and GH¢15.5106 for selling. This means the pound has fallen by GH¢0.0427 on the buying rate and GH¢0.0416 on the selling rate.

The latest figures continue a period of relatively stable trading for the cedi on the official interbank market. Recent BoG rates have shown only modest movements against major currencies, with the US dollar remaining around the GH¢11.45 level.
The BoG's interbank rates serve as a reference for foreign exchange transactions and are based on data submitted by banks. The central bank's methodology covers spot US dollar-to-cedi transactions conducted before the 3:30 pm cut-off, including qualifying interbank and client transactions.
The latest figures therefore show a mixed performance for the cedi. While the local currency recorded a marginal depreciation against the US dollar, it gained ground against both the pound and the euro.
For consumers, businesses and individuals with foreign currency obligations, the movements highlight the importance of checking the latest rates before making dollar, pound or euro-related transactions.
