These higher bureau rates reflect strong demand for foreign currency and limited supply, a trend often seen at the start of a new financial year.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Ghana is expected to continue its interventions in the coming months to reduce volatility.
Investors and traders will also be watching closely for how upcoming monetary policy decisions and external inflows could affect the cedi’s performance.
