Economist says the cedi will continue depreciating

Meanwhile, in a related YEN.com.gh story, an Economist Professor Godfred Bokpin says the cedi can only be temporarily stabilised against the dollar but will continue depreciating.

He blamed the phenomenon on poor macroeconomic policy support for the Cedi and a lack of proper fiscal mismanagement.

He urged the government to institute proper macroeconomic policy support to reduce inflation.
