Cedi begins first Monday of 2026 trading at GH¢10.50 to $1
These rates show a slight weakening from Wednesday’s interbank dollar rate of about GH¢10.61-10.62.
Earlier in the week, the cedi started strongly, trading at GH¢10.50 per dollar on Monday and around GH¢10.60 on Tuesday, indicating some stability.
Overall, the data suggests the cedi has been moving within a narrow range on the official interbank market, while rates at forex bureaus remain much higher.
The slight drop on Thursday is likely due to continued demand for dollars from importers and traders, even though Ghana’s broader economic indicators, including inflation, have recently improved.
