Checks by Joy Business at the forex bureaus also indicate that the cedi strengthened against the pound and the euro.

It is going for ¢14.46 against the pound and ¢12.80 against the euro.

The recent strong value of the local currency may be due to the boost in the supply of dollars, coming from the first tranche of the cocoa syndicated loan ($790 million) and the likelihood of an International Monetary Fund deal before the end of December 2022.
