    A strong cedi is not in the interest of Ghana. A country that imports practically everything should have a managed currency. BOG is supporting the currency with reserves which will be limited in nature.

  • Koti 3 months ago

    It's just like saying that when we improve our health care system it would lead to low casket sales. Are there any systems anywhere in the world that make all the people happy all the time? In Ghana, we have a lot of square p ...
