President John Mahama explained how Ghana's government helps strengthen the cedi against the dollar and other foreign currencies. The Central Bank works with the Finance Ministry to make the local currency stronger through careful planning.

Bank officials set average prices and exchange local money for foreign currency without artificial manipulation.
The President does not want the cedi to become equal to the American dollar. He believes such extreme strengthening would damage Ghana's ability to...
