The local currency also improved in value against the other major foreign currencies, the pound and the euro. It is, however, unclear why the cedi gained value against these major international currencies.
But some market watchers and analysts may attribute it to the Debt Exchange Programme as the government defined the parameters of the programme to pave way for a programme from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The local currency had remained relatively stable, particularly to the dollar in recent weeks.
It is the hope of the Akufo Addo led government to see such appreciation of the Ghana Cedi for many years. This will help reduce inflation in the country.
