The Ghanaian cedi continues to face depreciation challenges, weakening further against major currencies like the US dollar, British pound, and Euro.
Despite showing some stability in July, recent data highlights the currency’s struggles amid ongoing inflationary pressures.
As of November 4, 2024, the cedi trades at GH¢17.15 to the dollar, GH¢21.66 to the pound, and GH¢18.21 to the Euro in key forex bureaus across the country.
This persistent devaluation poses significant challenges for the Ghanaian economy, particularly as import-dependent businesses may adjust their prices upward, amplifying the cost-of-living pressures on citizens and impacting inflationary trends further.
