Ghana\u2019s current account improved significantly in the first nine months of 2025, reaching a surplus of US$3.8 billion.<\/p>\n

This is compared to US$553.6 million for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

According to the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Ghana, the trade surplus increased to US$7.5 billion. This is on the back of a surge in gold and cocoa export earnings.<\/p>\n

Private inward transfers remained high at U$6.0 billion at the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

According to the Bank of Ghana, the current account surplus, together with favourable balances in the capital and financial accounts, translated into an overall balance of payment surplus of US$1.8 billion and supported an accumulation of reserve assets to US$11.4 billion in October 2025. This is equivalent to 4.8 months of import cover.<\/p>\n

Reserves are also projected to increase further by the year-end.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank said the reserve accumulation efforts have helped provide a cushion for the currency, with the cedi strengthening against the major trading currencies.<\/p>\n

In the year to 21st November 2025, the cedi recorded an appreciation of 32.2% against the US dollar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
