The Ghana cedi recorded marginal gains against major trading currencies on Christmas Day, offering some relief to consumers during the festive season.

Data from the Bank of Ghana indicate that as of December 25, 2025, the local currency was trading at GH¢11.10 to the US dollar on the interbank market, reflecting a slight appreciation during the holiday period.

The modest strengthening of the cedi is expected to help moderate the cost of imported goods, including food items, clothing, electronics, and household products, which typically see increased demand during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Similarly, the cedi’s stability against the dollar could ease pressure on fuel prices, as petroleum products are imported in foreign currency, potentially helping to contain transportation costs and related business expenses.

Overall, while the gains remain marginal, the improved performance of the cedi is likely to support purchasing power and provide some respite to households during the festive season.
