Shame on you. BOG started buying Gold from the days of Kwame Nkrumah. No one except Nkrumah can take credit for this initiative. How much gold reserve did you build for 8 years? Kwasiasem, such stupidity. You couldn't stabilise the cedi for 8 yes, someone in doing his best to stabilise it in just 4 months and you have the audacity to talk nonsense. How stupid can you be?

Kofi Bentil must be hallucinating. Bawumia was in office for eight years and couldn't tame the dollar. Now he is out of office for four months and he is able to make the cedi appreciate? What bull shit?

The credit for currency stabilization within 5 months of the Mahama government taking power can reasonably be shared with the Akuffo Addo past government and here's how it generally breaks down:
Most macroeconomic policies—especially fiscal (government spending/tax) and monetary (central bank actions)—take time (often 6–18 months) to show full effects. If the stabilization happened quickly, it's likely that prior government policies or external factors (like commodity prices or global economic shifts) played a significant role.
Markets can also react swiftly to perceptions of the new government's credibility, stability, and policy direction. If the new government inspires confidence (e.g., through anti-corruption measures, technocratic appointments, or sound fiscal statements), that alone can strengthen the currency—even if the underlying economic fundamentals haven’t yet changed.
Hence my Summary Judgment is this:

Short-term stabilization (weeks to a few months) is more about market sentiment and continuity—the new Mahama government might deserve partial credit as much as the past Akuffo Addo government also take some due credit.

Longer-term improvements (6+ months) are more clearly due to current Mahama government policy implementation.

TIME WILL TELL.

When people are old enough and can't still thing correctly . Stupidly still makes people see something good in the clueless Bawumia who was arrested by the dollar for 8 good years .When we sound insulting,you must totally understand.
How could someone in his right frame of mind still attribute something good to DMB. Only a fool does that and no doubt so many fools are in this country.
I was part of the useless NPP and I really regret it ,as I was convinced to speak against the diligent JDM ,for NPP never again.....!!!!

Cheddar opened the eyes of Ghana Govt..Cheddar brought awareness to Bawumia and the Npp govt about gold reserves ..anyway govt is about continuation..anyway whatever it is, Mahama will get credit because he is in power, if things were going in the wrong direction, we would have blamed Mahama so let’s give credit to Mahama and Ndc but it’s true, Bawumia also played a role

I remember when he tried to change the meaning of arrogance when applied to Napo and Ghanaians again rejected him. He has no shame. If he does, he would have apologized to Ghanaians for his deception but because he has shame, he will not change

Senseless and madness at play. The cedi was depreciating on daily basis when Bawuliar was in power. He was ashamed of himself and left the economy to digitisation. For 8 years he could not do anything to improve the economy. Instead he superintended over corruption, looting, thievery and mismanagement. Nation wreckers who don't think about the country. Shame on you.

Let me educate people who have no economic background or have little or no knowledge when it comes to economic management! It takes an average of 18 months or 1.5 years for any meaning policy or strategy to trickle down or through or if you like, impact the economy when it comes to especially dealing with inflation and high prices of goods and services!
