Ghana's Gold Board says it will supply $1.5 billion of foreign exchange in October 2026 — $1 billion to commercial banks and $500 million to the Bank of Ghana — after a $130 million spot sale at GH¢11.60 to the dollar. The Board says the cedi has appreciated for three straight weeks on the interbank market.
The World Bank's Africa Pulse assessment ranked the cedi Africa's worst-performing currency of the second quarter of 2026, down more than 15 percent.
