The Index, which is a composite measure of the value of the Ghana cedi against the Dollar, Pound, CFA and the Euro, went up from 104.24 points on Wednesday to 104.54 points on Thursday.

The cedi depreciated by 0.0109 GH cedis against the British Pound and 0.0014 GH cedis against Euro but remained fairly stable against the dollar and the CFA.
