Ghana\u2019s total export earnings reached $17 billion by the end of August 2025, according to the September Economic and Financial Data released by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) on September 16.<\/p>\n

Gold led the way, recording $11.7 billion in earnings compared to $6.6 billion in July 2024. <\/p>\n

Cocoa exports brought in $2.4 billion, up from $915 million, while oil exports stood at $1.8 billion, down from $2.7 billion in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

On the import side, Ghana spent $11.7 billion to finance imports by the end of August 2025, compared to $10.7 billion in the same period last year. <\/p>\n

Oil imports accounted for $3.7 billion, a sharp decline from $10.2 billion in 2024. <\/p>\n

Non-oil imports stood at $8 billion, up from $7 billion in August 2024.<\/p>\n

This development pushed Ghana\u2019s trade surplus higher, reaching $6.1 billion.<\/p>\n

Gross international reserves ended August 2025 at $10.7 billion, down from $11.1 billion in June.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Pre-Monetary Policy Committee Meeting, BoG Governor Dr. Johnson Asiama said Ghana\u2019s strong trade position and reserves were driven by robust gold exports and higher cocoa receipts.<\/p>\n

He added that despite seasonal pressures on the cedi and moderating remittance inflows in recent weeks, the country\u2019s gross international reserves still covered about four and a half months of imports. <\/p>\n

On the currency, he stressed that the cedi remains one of the strongest globally year-to-date, appreciating by about 21% as of September 12, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
