Cedi strengthens against dollar, weakens against pound and euro
Compared with the previous BoG update published on September 7, the cedi recorded mixed movements against the three major currencies.
The dollar’s buying rate has fallen from GH¢11.3943 to GH¢11.3893, a decrease of GH¢0.0050. Its selling rate has also declined from GH¢11.4057 to GH¢11.4007, also by GH¢0.0050.
This means the cedi gained slightly against the US dollar, reversing part of the pressure recorded in the previous update.
The pound, however, moved higher against the cedi. Its buying rate increased from GH¢15.4051 to GH¢15.4291, representing a rise of GH¢0.0240. The selling rate also increased from GH¢15.4216 to GH¢15.4445, up by GH¢0.0229.
The euro also strengthened against the cedi. Its buying rate rose from GH¢13.2392 to GH¢13.2461, an increase of GH¢0.0069, while its selling rate increased from GH¢13.2523 to GH¢13.2582, also by GH¢0.0059.
The latest figures therefore show a mixed performance for the cedi, with the local currency gaining marginally against the dollar while losing ground against the pound and euro.
The movements come after the cedi came under renewed pressure against major currencies in recent weeks. Reuters reported earlier in September that increased demand for foreign currency, including from importers and foreign investors, was contributing to downward pressure on the cedi.
The exchange-rate movements could affect the cost of imported goods, international travel, foreign tuition payments and other transactions requiring US dollars, pounds or euros.
