If the Cedi is strong then there is no reason for these traders to offer rates that are unfavourable to themselves. The Cedi is overvalued and only by the grace of higher prices of gold, cocoa and oil which fluctuate, can the government prop up the currency.

Massa, long over due. You cannot go to any serious country to see this illegal forex trade like we see in Ghana.
Just try the in India or even Brazil. Not to talk about Malaysia or China.

YOU WILL BE KILLED.

This illegal forex trading is not only in Accra, but it’s all over the place in the country. Tema is another hot spot. The police knows about this. The annoying part of this is the foreigners are the ones engaged in this nonsense.

The first people to arrest is the bank managers and our politicians. Where do you think the sellers get the money from? Forex deposited at the banks are given to them to sell. Why cut the snake's tail instead of the head?

This is the main problem with our forex market. The banks loves doing business with them, so they always deny people the forex and direct them to these "Abokis" doing the illegal trade. They sell the dollars to the abokis and they also add their margins making the dollar more expensive. If we can sustain this fight, the forex market will clean.
