The Ghana cedi is expected to recoup some losses against the dollar in the coming months, Fitch Solutions has revealed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
According to the London-based firm, this is due to improved investor sentiment, higher dollar inflows, and easing external con\u00additions,<\/p>\n
In an article dubbed \u201cSub-Sa\u00adharan Africa currency round-up: greater stability ahead in second half of 2024\u201d, it said external con\u00additions would offer more support to Sub-Saharan African currencies in the coming quarters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect the Ghanaian cedi to fare better in the second-half of 2024. In the year to date, the cedi has lost 19.2 percent of its value against the US dollar, positioning it among the worst performing currencies globally,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
It said subdued market sen\u00adtiment amid debt restructuring negotiations has kept capital inflows weak, while the start of an economic recovery \u2013 real Gross Domestic Product growth accel\u00aderated from 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 4.7 percent year-on-year in the first quar\u00adter of 2024 had increased demand for foreign exchange.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, Ghana\u2019s inter\u00adnational reserves have remained low, covering just 2.5 months of imports in March. Combined with\u00a0International Monetary Fund\u00a0agreements to allow the exchange rate to adjust to market conditions, this has led to limited foreign exchange intervention by the\u00a0Bank of Ghana\u00a0in the year-to-date,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
Fitch Solutions projects that the cedi will regain value by 9.0 percent by year-end, from the July 9, 2024 spot.<\/p>\n
On July 8, Ghana reached an agreement with international bondholders to restructure US$13 billion worth of external debt, a process that should be concluded by the end of September 2024.<\/p>\n
Fitch Solutions said it believed that this would improve investor sentiment towards Ghana, im\u00adprove capital inflows and provide appreciatory pressure to the unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, the start of a monetary easing cycle in the US in September will likely put some pressure on the dollar and improve investor appetite for higher-yielding emerging market assets, providing tailwinds to the cedi,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The cedi is presently going for GH\u00a215.75 at the forex bureau. It has depreciated by about 20 percent against the American greenback.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
