    Cut cost. The cedi must strengthen more. The politicians are playing their games. The next time a different party gets power, I won't be surprised if we exchange a dollar for one cedi. The way the purchasing power of Ghanaian ...

    This means when Kufuor redenominated the cedis, it must have had serious effects on businesses which were not told then.

    It led to price gouging making products and services in Ghana way more expensive than our neighbours. A person thinks twice before saying they have increased prices by 10,000 cedis than saying "Ooh, 1 Ghana".

    We applaud the Govt for help to appreciate the cedis, but prices are not going down. The Govt reduce taxes and even eliminate some of the taxes, but the businesses refuse to reduce their price.

    Some people do not understand simple economics here. It's good the cedi is doing well but in every situation you have advantages and disadvantages. The days the cedi was weak, imports were expensive for Ghanaian business and ...

    Unfortunately the Cedi has strengthened to a point where traditional exports are declining in value as receipts cannot cover costs such as the basket weavers and the timber industry. We are now importing more and exporting le ...
