A Euro, on the other hand, is being bought at a rate of 9.30 and sold at a rate of 11.50.

For more than two weeks, the cedi has shown some growth against major trading currencies, particularly the dollar.

Director of Research at the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Philip Abradu-Otoo, has attributed the appreciation of the local currency to the monetary policy implemented by the Central Bank, a reduction in imports and Ghana's deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Some experts believe the cedi will continue to enjoy some appreciation.
