Despite relative stability in the official market, rates at forex bureaus remained higher, reflecting continued pressure on the cedi. 

The US dollar was being bought at GH¢11.50 and sold at GH¢11.90, while the euro ranged from GH¢13.30 to GH¢14.20, and the pound from GH¢15.40 to GH¢16.30.

Demand for foreign currency remains strong, particularly at the start of the financial year, as businesses step up import-related transactions.

The Bank of Ghana is expected to continue interventions to curb excessive volatility and stabilise the cedi.
