BoG makes available $20m in new forex auction

The Central Bank of Ghana’s recent forward foreign exchange auction has marked a significant shift in the country’s foreign exchange policy, with the aim of promoting stability and transparency in the downstream sector. The auction, which took place on March 14th, saw 20 Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs) submit bids for a total of $20 million in foreign exchange, with a fixed rate of GHS 12.01 pesewas per dollar.

The Central Bank has projected a total of $200 million to be sold to BDCs during the first quarter of 2023.

This shift in the Central Bank’s foreign exchange policy is aimed at reducing uncertainty and promoting price discovery in the downstream sector. By offering a fixed amount of foreign exchange at a fixed rate, the Central Bank aims to stabilize the market and ensure consistency in the pricing of downstream products. This is expected to improve transparency and efficiency in the foreign exchange market.

The new forward auction format represents a departure from the previous approach of selling foreign exchange at a single rate determined by supply and demand. This new approach is expected to bring increased transparency and efficiency to the foreign exchange market, preventing market manipulation and promoting fair competition.

The BDCs play a crucial role in Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, importing, transporting, and distributing petroleum products across the country. As major stakeholders in the industry, BDCs play a key role in ensuring an adequate supply of petroleum products to consumers.

The Central Bank’s foreign exchange policy is expected to have a positive impact on the economy by creating a more stable and predictable business environment. This is expected to attract more foreign investment, increase economic growth and development, and create more jobs for Ghanaians.

The consistent pricing of downstream products will help to reduce uncertainty and promote business confidence, mitigating exchange rate risks faced by BDCs and other businesses operating in Ghana. The increased transparency and efficiency in the foreign exchange market can prevent market manipulation and promote fair competition, benefiting consumers and businesses alike.

The Central Bank’s forward foreign exchange auction marks a positive step towards creating a more stable and predictable business environment in Ghana, promoting economic growth and development. The consistent pricing of downstream products, coupled with the increased transparency and efficiency in the foreign exchange market, can help to attract more foreign investment, create more jobs, and ultimately benefit the Ghanaian people.
