The stronger year-end performance of the cedi is expected to help ease the cost of imports, including food items, clothing, electronics and household goods, which typically experience increased demand during the Christmas and New Year period.

The appreciation also offers some relief on fuel prices, as petroleum products are largely imported and priced in dollars, potentially easing transportation costs and operational expenses for businesses.

Overall, the cedi’s firm close at GH¢10.44 to the dollar is expected to support consumer purchasing power and provide welcome relief to households and businesses as Ghana enters 2026 on a more stable currency footing.
