A group of what? Eating your cake and still have it full, what a dishonest society! Go and REDUCE your PRICES! Government must stop stabilizing the damn cedi and this so called group can go to hell. If what is on paper is not the reality and so what? Concern Group, tell your members that we(Ghanaians) have not benefitted from the appreciation of the cedi and we don't care whether you get the dollar at 30ghC.

You don't need physical cash in dollars to import. Just go to your bank and initiate a wire transfer payment to your supplier in overseas. Should you need to travel and still need cash in dollars, you just need small amount of physical dollars and your bank debit card ensuring it has been approved by the bank to use it in overseas. To be honest, it is illegal in most countries to carry over USD 10,000 to pass through airports.That money can be seized by authorities.

Banks don't dollars; they get it from Bank of Ghana.

All wire transactions go through Bank of Ghana.

If Bank of Ghana doesn't supply banks with the needed dollars these banks can't do transfers

Yes you cannot carry more than 10,000 US dollars from the US to Ghana or any country.It's illegal and will be seized.10, 000 dlls is the limit period.A lot of Ghanaians are naive.

Lies. If they have correct import documents and supporting customs entries there is no shortage. It is only briefcase importers who cannot provide correct paperwork who are complaining. If they need to pay in advance what prevents them from applying through bank for bank transfer. It is only because they dont want any trace they keep chasing for cash dollars.

You have never lowered prices. This is a pretext to raise prices. Shame. Where have you been getting dollars from previously?

Different items from different shops in China or Turkey will need cash in small quantities.
It is the time of the year when there is a big demand for dollars for the purchase of Christmas goods.

After all the rubbish that NDC fools have written (as usual) are they trying to imply that traders and individuals don't need the dollar. All that these coconut heads have been trained to do is to jump upon any issue to comment unreasonably. I pity a human being who calls himself NDC member, no sensible person, no sensible argument, full of fake certificates.

Agyimifo) w) ghana paa. Who told you people the importers want physical dollars from the banks? They the bank to transfer dollars equivalent of their cedis oooo. Illiterate NDC foolsoldiers! If you want to import from you have transfer your money in equivalent to China. If you want to import from dubai you transfer your money in dollars equivalent to dubai. Now one is looking for physical dollars oo stupid NDC foolsoldiers learn.

Now the importers go black buy the dollars at ghc13.7 and deposit into their their bank account in ghana for the same bank refusing to sell dollars to to transfer to the country the import from.

Bank of ghana doesn't want be exposed for the manipulation of the dollar but what ever the bank of ghana does the true value of the dollar will come out as IMF said to them
