Rate Info
About This Reference Rate
Ghana's central bank lets the cedi trade on a managed float, intervening occasionally to smooth sharp swings but generally allowing market forces to set the rate day to day. The cedi has a notable history of depreciation and a 2007 redenomination, where the government knocked four zeros off the old currency to simplify everyday transactions. The figure here reflects a recent market reference, converted through current dollar cross-rates, and is not a transaction rate.
Common Uses
Why This Pair Comes Up
A few specific situations explain most of the interest in comparing these two currencies.
Ghana's 2007 Currency Redenomination
In 2007, Ghana introduced a new cedi worth 10,000 old cedis, chopping four zeros off prices to make everyday transactions easier to handle after years of inflation had bloated the old currency's numbers.
World's Second-Largest Cocoa Producer
Cocoa exports remain central to Ghana's economy and foreign currency earnings, and swings in global cocoa prices tend to feed through into how the cedi performs against other currencies.
A Gold Mining Backbone
Gold is Ghana's largest export earner, and the country ranks among Africa's top producers, giving global gold prices an outsized influence on the cedi's fortunes.
