" Cedi appreciating against the dollar \u2013 Forex Bureau Association \r\n\r\nThe President of the Forex Bureau Association of Ghana, K. T. Dadzie, has disclosed that the exchange rates have reacted positively, with an appreciation of the Cedi, following ongoing engagements between government and key stakeholders.\r\n\r\nAccording to him, whilst it has not been easy for Forex Operators, their customers and the nation, during these past three months of forex turbulence, the cedi, since government\u2019s direct interventions, has appreciated significantly against the dollar.\r\n\r\nHe said, this means that, the situation with the rates spiraling out of control is not in any way a natural course of action, but the deliberate efforts of \u201cpeople speculating and trying to make rainfall out of the situation that we are in.\u201d \r\n\r\nMr. K.T Dadzie made this known when the leadership and members of the Association met the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in an extended version of continuing engagements between the Association and the Bank of Ghana, to discuss the concerning behaviour and turbulence of the foreign exchange market.\r\n\r\nAccording to President Akufo-Addo, at whose behest the meeting was occasioned, \u201cthe state of our currency and the turbulence in our foreign exchange market is a matter of notoriety now in Ghana and it\u2019s a matter of very grave concern.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe said, \u201cthe initial import for the creation of Forex Bureaus was at the time when the economy was opening up and liberalizing. So we had these Forex Bureaus, regulated by the Bank of Ghana; but which will make access to foreign exchange in a regulated and controlled manner easier.\u201d \r\n\r\n \u201cThis was necessary to curb the and trying to find a mechanism for putting an end to Black-Market operations in our currency,\u201d he added.\r\n\r\n \u201cUnfortunately, somehow,\u201d he continued, \u201cthese initial motivations for the Forex Bureau have still not materialized. The Black-Market; you will hear public commentators, and the Bank of Ghana itself, that it is still driving both the supply as well as the rate of our foreign exchange transactions.\u201d \r\n\r\nThe Forex Bureau Association pledged their commitment to support government towards stabilizing the rates and reduce drastically the influence of Black-Market activities within that space."
