The strength was sustained today, December 14, 2022, after the cedi again gained 5.6% value against the dollar which translates into a cumulative gain of approximately 33.6% in December alone.

It will be recalled that the cedi lost more than 50% value against the dollar before December 2022.

This led to it being tagged as the worst-performing currency. But its recent good showing has seen it being named the best-performing currency.

Some analysts are of the view that the strengthening of the cedi follows the launch of the government’s Domestic Debt Exchange programme and the clinching of the Staff-Level Agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a $3 billion economic bailout package.
