More pressure on the cedi as BoG forex auction is oversubscribed by $221m

Demand for dollar by banks, businesses and particularly importers and exporters has seen a huge increment over the past weeks.

The rising demand for the greenback by banks, businesses exporters and importers is evidenced by the recent oversubscription of the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) dollar auction by $221m.

The Central Bank in its forex forward rates auction on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, met its target of auctioning $75 million to bidders for the dollar.

The $75 million was however out of a total of $296.75 million bids submitted by banks, importers, exporters and businesses that have need of the greenback for their transactions.

The high demand and oversubscription of the BoG’s forex auction puts more pressure on the cedi enabling or facilitating its depreciation against the dollar.

As of March 8, 2022, the cedi had recorded a year-to-date depreciation rate of 14.21% against the greenback.
