Bank of Ghana Governor Johnson Pandit Asiama said the cedi became stronger because of good economic policies. He spoke at the Ghana CEO Summit on May 26 about currency gains during recent months. The cedi rose 24.1 percent against the US dollar since January started. Asiama stressed that strong market forces caused this improvement rather than government tricks. Central bank officials did not use foreign money reserves to boost the local currency value.
The governor explained that smart monetary policy helped the cedi perform better against foreign currencies. Foreign exchange auction changes also supported the local currency during trading sessions. More money from Ghanaians abroad flowed back home to help the economy. Better market watching prevented people from cheating during currency trading. These actions created real improvements instead of temporary fixes that fail later.
At the same business meeting, President Mahama also discussed helping customers save money. He asked companies to lower their prices after the cedi became more valuable. Business leaders heard him promise that government spending would stay controlled. Mahama wants to keep economic conditions stable for companies across Ghana. The president believes fiscal discipline will help businesses grow and succeed.
