The Dollar is winning as Ghanaians accuse the BoG of massaging exchange rates again
Following the release of the Interbank Exchange Rates for today, 31st January 2023, Ghanaians have taken to Twitter to accuse the Bank of Ghana (BoG) of massaging the exchange rates it quotes. This is not the first time this accusation has been made.
Each day’s rate from the bank of Ghana has remained very low compared to the rates quoted by the banks and the Forex Bureaus.
Is the BoG massaging exchange rates? Comments left on the Bank of Ghana Exchange rates posted for the day included the following
“All this is a lie…I HV been to the bank”
“BoG should stop the joke…….we’re serious………..just stepped out from a bank, the rates are higher hmmm”
“Rates are higher than this. I don’t know why u keep sharing lower rates when it does not apply to banks and forex exchange rates”
“You have started posting nonsense again”
The rate quoted by Forex Bureaus
| Currency | Buy Rate |
 US Dollar¹ (USD) | 12.20 |
 British Pound (GBP) | 15.00 |
 Euros (EUR) | 12.70 |
| Currency | Sell Rate |
| US Dollar¹ (USD) | 12.80 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 16.00 |
| Euros (EUR) | 13.70 |
The Bank of Ghana, rates for the three major currencies quoted below are way below that of the banks. Compare the bank of Ghana rates, that of the banks, and the Forex Bureaus and make your own conclusions if the rates by the BoG can be relied on for decision-making.
