They don't have any policies which is appreciating the cedi, instead it's Trumps trade war which is appreciating the cedi.
Quote
Trump's chaotic trade policy and concerns about the worsening US deficit have dampened sentiment toward US assets, thus weighing on the dollar. "In the long term, a regime change for the US dollar could be imminent after the recent peak," said David Meier, economist at Julius Baer. "The unpredictable US policy, the strained fiscal situation, and the high foreign debt, combined with the two deficits, suggest that a weaker US dollar is the path of least resistance." Unquote

The fast appreciation of the our GHS without any productive backing is not good the economy.
Our export will become very expensive and therefore will affect production and jobs.
Appreciation of our GHS with a high MRP of 28% and high electricity bills will affect local production .Local industries will have a high overcost .Imports from US and China will be cheaper, so our industries will struggle and collapse.

Why is inflation still high?

So untill all the fundamental are right, we are sitting on a time domb.

Ghanaians should brace themselves for a harsher economic downturn. At a time when most countries are running away from stronger currencies, Ghanaians are clapping for themselves for going in the opposite direction. In the first place, we don't produce much for export. Secondly, the little we produce will become expensive. If I was buying a tonne of cocoa for say $1000 from Ghana, I will now need $1500 to buy the same tonne. No, I will go to Ivory Coast to buy it. Our cocoa will end up rotting away in the warehouses. A strong currency without a corresponding export receipt is detrimental to any country's economy. Fool stop!

Ghanaians should be cautious of the cedi appreciation vis-a-vis the dollar or euro. Because currency appreciation makes goods and services from Ghana more expensive. This will hurt the competiveness of our exports if we stretch it too far.
Again we can not continue to sell dollars for too long. The bank of Ghana has withdrawn billions of the cedi from circulation. The quantity of money in the country has been reduced. We should note that the only legal tender in Ghana is the cedi. In a short time individuals will lose interest in the dollar because it has lost value in the economy. The only people who will continue to buy the dollar/euro are the foreign travellers and importers.
It would be a good idea if dollar was eliminated as a means of exchange in the local economy. That is the only way to stabilise the cedi.

JM will be President for the next 12 years. Constitution doesn't allow but he will run as an independent candidate and win massively all because of his great governance.
The people of Ghana will see a great leader of the country and not a party leader. You can insult me if you want.
Ghana is marching forward to become the beacon of Africa. Be a Ghanaian. Always say this prayer for Ghana and not your party.
GOD BLESS GHANA.

Having the cedis at single digits against the USD and other major currencies may make good political and to some extent economic sense but it has to be managed against other fiscal and trade policies. A strengthened cedis could work against itself if Ghanaians choose importation over production and exports.

This is a great sign of relief for Ghanaians to see the cedi rise against the dollar. But what policies in particular did the finance ministry and BOG put in place to arrest the cedi ?

If the cedi breaks the 8, then these bunch of highly incompetent corrupt thieves shall remain where they are till 3098. We are experiencing real men at work with an effective leadership who treat Ghanaians with respect. The difference is crystal clear and never again shall we allow these blockhead incompetent thieves get closer to leadership. The mother serpent and his criminals must be dead and buried 99 feet down

The loading of tarrifs around the world will ease over the coming months,and stabilise the US economy and consumer confidence will level out.
The US DOLLAR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 250 YEARS .....AND WILL AROUND FOR THE NEXT 250......THE CEDI ,WONT CRASH AND BURN,.BUT WILL COME BACK AND STABILISE AROUND 12 TO THE DOLLAR TO YEARS END.
MAKING PREDICTIONS, IS FINE ,BUT WITHOUT CERTAINY.....MARKET CONDITIONS WILL DETERMINE ITS TRUE VALUE.
CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING TO THE BONE...
DONT SPEND MONEY THATS NOT YOURS.

It is not a bad idea. But kindly note that this Govt has not started paying for roads and others. Expenditures, so far, are on the low side. But dollars must be low.
