The Ghana cedi has continued to hold steady against major trading currencies following Christmas Day.
Data from the Bank of Ghana show that the cedi was trading at GH¢11.10 to the US dollar on the interbank market as of December 26, 2025 which is Boxing Day.
The modest strengthening of the local currency is expected to help moderate the cost of imported goods, including food items, clothing, electronics, and household products, which typically experience increased demand during the Christmas and New Year festivities.
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 relief to households during the festive season.
