The Ghana cedi has recorded a notable appreciation against major trading currencies, strengthening significantly on the interbank market as the year draws to a close.

Data from the Bank of Ghana indicate that the cedi was trading at GH¢10.65 to the US dollar as of Tuesday, December 30, 2025, with just two days remaining in the year, marking one of its strongest performances in recent weeks.

This follows a sharp gain from GH¢11.10 to the dollar on Monday, December 29, 2025, reflecting increased stability and renewed confidence in the local currency toward the end of the year.

The currency’s firming position is expected to moderate the cost of imported goods, including food, clothing, electronics, and household items, which typically experience heightened demand during the Christmas and New Year festivities.

The stronger cedi also provides some relief on fuel prices, as imported petroleum products are priced in dollars. This development could help contain transportation costs and reduce operational expenses for businesses.

Overall, the cedi’s significant gains during the festive period are expected to support consumer purchasing power and offer much-needed relief to households and businesses as 2025 comes to an end.
