Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama, has assured Ghanaians of a favourable exchange-rate environment during the Christmas period, expressing confidence in the performance of the Cedi.
Dr Asiama made the remarks while speaking at the African Virtual Assets Summit (AVAS) 2026 on Monday, November 2, amid concerns about exchange-rate movements and their implications for businesses and consumers.
“What I can promise is a good Christmas as far as the exchange rate is concerned. We will have a good Christmas,” he said.
His assurance comes as the latest Bank of Ghana interbank exchange rates show the Cedi trading at GH¢11.6142 to the US dollar for buying and GH¢11.6258 for selling.
The latest figures, published on Monday, November 2, 2026, by Channel One Research Desk, and based on average interbank rates at the close of business on Friday, October 30, also put the pound sterling at GH¢15.5549 for buying and GH¢15.5704 for selling.
