The Ghana cedi ended 2025 as the 4th<\/sup> best performing currency in Africa.<\/p>\n

According to Forbes, the cedi\u2019s currency value of GH\u00a210.93 per US dollar makes it one of the strongest currencies on the continent.<\/p>\n

Tunisia dinar came 1st<\/sup> with a currency value of 2.90 per US dollar. It was followed by Libyan dinar and Morocco dirham in 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> respectively.<\/p>\n

In 5th<\/sup>, 6th<\/sup>, 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> were Botswana pula, Seychelles rupee, Eritrea nakfa and Swaziland lilangeni.<\/p>\n

Rounding up the top 10 were South Africa rand (9th<\/sup>) and Namibia dollar (10th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n

The World Bank stated that Ghana\u2019s currency was strengthened by tight monetary and fiscal policies, increase export revenues buoyed by higher prices of gold and cocoa and improved market sentiment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the cedi appreciated by a record 27.75% to one American greenback in the retail market in 2025.<\/p>\n

It traded at GH\u00a212.30 to one US dollar at the forex bureau. The Bank of Ghana, however, quoted the cedi at GH\u00a210.45 cedi to one US dollar.<\/p>\n

The International Monetary Fund in its recent Staff Report said the Bank of Ghana (BOG) is actively managing the foreign exchange market, while increasing its footprint.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince program approval, the BoG has taken an increasingly active role as an intermediary in the FX [forex] market on the back of stronger BoP [Balanced of Payments] inflows\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added that the Domestic Gold Purchasing Programme has been the key source of these inflows, which also included cocoa inflows and repatriation requirement on extractive sector export proceeds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
