Dollar-cedi exchange rate for the weekend of 21st October 2023 shows the cedi is falling and a dollar is selling above GHS12.00
The dollar-cedi exchange rate has been relatively stable in the past week, with the mid-rate hovering around GHS 11.70.
However, there are some concerns that the rate could increase in the coming months, particularly as we enter the Christmas and New Year season.
One reason for this is that demand for dollars is typically higher during the festive season, as Ghanaians living abroad send remittances home. Additionally, businesses may also need to import more goods in order to meet the increased demand from consumers.
If the demand for dollars increases, this could put upward pressure on the exchange rate. Additionally, if the global economy weakens, this could also lead to a decline in the value of the cedi.
As a result, it is possible that the dollar-cedi exchange rate could reach GHS 12.00 or even higher by the end of the year.
Implications of a higher dollar-cedi exchange rate
A higher dollar-cedi exchange rate would have a number of implications for the Ghanaian economy. For example, it would make imports more expensive, which could lead to higher inflation. Additionally, it would make it more difficult for Ghanaian businesses to compete with foreign firms.
However, a higher dollar-cedi exchange rate would also have some positive implications. For example, it would make Ghanaian exports more competitive, and it would also make it more attractive for foreign investors to invest in Ghana.
Overall, the impact of a higher dollar-cedi exchange rate on the Ghanaian economy is likely to be mixed. However, it is important for businesses and individuals to be aware of the potential risks associated with a stronger dollar.
