Within this week the cedi has been on free fall. First it&#8217;s rate was 12cedis to a dollar and now its 13cedis. Social Media have even speculated that the cedi is now 15cedis to 1 dollar.<\/p>\n<p>The government and their Communication team has blamed the free fall of the cedi to global economic crisis facing the world ( Russia -Ukraine war).
