The Bank of Ghana on Tuesday marked the official launch of 60 years of the Ghana cedi, an event that would be a point of reflection for the currency’s historic journey and its pivotal role in Ghana’s economic independence.
The official launch of the celebrations was held at the Accra International Conference Centre, and it’s expected to spur a months-long series of activities, including exhibitions, policy dialogues, and stakeholder engagements aimed at strengthening public confidence and promoting financial innovation.
Speaking at the launch, Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Johnson Asiama said the Bank remains committed to sustaining the gains through prudent policy interventions aimed at maintaining price stability and strengthening confidence in the Ghanaian economy.
“I’m proud to say we have turned a decisive corner, and indeed the evidence is compelling. Headline inflation is down, and the Cedi has appreciated strongly. These gains reflect the impact of sound and disciplined economic management,” the Governor said.
The Cedi@60 commemoration, themed “Sovereignty, Stability, and Resilience”, comes at a time when the currency appears to be gaining some momentum against major trading currencies. The cedi currently trades at over GHC 10 on the interbank trading market. The currency has also been among one of Africa’s strongest currencies this year.
