In order to buy foreign securities, you need foreign currency, usually US dollars. To obtain them, you sell cedis, depressing the value of the latter. If the official value of the cedi had been near the real value, this would have been no problem, the new regulations would not have been necessary. But for some reason, the Bank of Ghana thinks it is posh to have an overvalued currency, which depresses Ghanean export and import substituting businesses. It also creates queues for dollars, opening the possibility of bribes and black market transactions.

Now affluent countries like Taiwan and South Korea were as poor as Ghana 50 years ago. They grew through exports. Other countries buy your products if they are cheap, which means the cedi should be cheap. The current BOG policy greatly harms exporters and leaves Ghana as a poor swamp forever.
