Cedi ranked 9th among Africa’s top 15 currencies

The Cedi, out of the Continent’s top 15 currencies has placed 9th after slipping from its previous position as the 8th best currency on the Continent.

In August, the cedi was ranked 8th among Africa’s top currencies with a depreciation of 1.30% to the US dollar. This was after it had appreciated against the American ‘greenback’ in the first six months of this year.

The Namibian dollar however dislodged the local currency from the 8th position after an improved performance against the American currency in September 2021.

But the cedi is expected to gain some value to the US dollar soon. This is because the first tranche ($750m) of the $1.5 billion Cocoa Syndication Loan will hit the account of the Bank of Ghana next week. It will help reduce the recent pressures on the local currency.

Speaking at the 102nd Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) press briefing on Monday, September 27, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison said the Central Bank has been doing its best to stabilise the local currency.

“You will see that the Bank has been fairly active in the forward market. We raised the bi-weekly intervention from $25 million every fortnight to $75 million, and we did that for I believe three consecutive weeks. This was because we thought that the market needed that particular support. And we did that without compromising our reserves and I believe that is the best way forward.”

On the continent, Zambian Kwacha maintained its lead as the best performing currency with an appreciation of 28% to the dollar.

It is followed by the Ugandan shilling and the Egyptian Pound. Both had appreciated by 3.1% and 0.14% in value respectively to the American currency.
