Why still wasting billions to prop up a currency that has no value beyond its boundary? You have said that import exceeds export so try and get the export in shape. Short term solution is like putting a plaster over a wound.

Ghana can not take CREDIT of the Cedi rise this way; it's a political suicide in allowing the Cedi to adjust to its own value, however, that is the right approach in boosting Ghana's economy. We can not borrow to pay our debts. The SUSU approach would drown Ghana for 'life', in other ways, we are passing our failures to the unborn.

The last paragraph in this article holds the key to the problems of the depreciating Cedi.

I will also add the folowwing:
1. Set-up Boards for Key products eg Palm Oil, Banana, Sugar (Cane production), Poultry, etc etc and man these boards with competent businessmen to run them.
2. Pay special attention to Exporters. The Govt. should do whatever it takes to incentivise them.
3. There should be monthly production of statistics to draw attento our exports vis a vis our imports.

4. Impors should be controlled where same product is available in the country. Importation of Toothpics is an example.
