These are the problems in our economy, the issues about the exchange rate and financial sector issues. But I think the good news is that we are making progress because the developments we are seeing are not different from other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we need to stay focused and implement the appropriate policies and build buffers to be able to support the progress we have made,\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Dr Addison said this when he delivered remarks at the launch of a book titled \u2018The Concise Law of Banking,\u2019 authored by private legal practitioner Afua Appiah-Adu. <\/p>\n<p>He stressed that this approach will not only strengthen the local currency but also enhance investor confidence and broadly support economic stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have $7 billion dollars in foreign exchange reserves. If I want to drive the dollar-cedi rate at GH\u00a210, I can do that tomorrow. But what about the day after tomorrow? So, we are balancing various factors, trying to build reserves and managing the exchange rate. So, all is not lost yet, there is some silver lining in the cloud, hopefully we will see the appreciation of the currency\u201d, Governor Addison added.<\/p>\n<p>MA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Ernest Addison, BoG Governor The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has affirmed that it is increasing its reserves to prevent the cedi&#8217;s depreciation against major foreign currencies as demand for forex is expected to rise during the upcoming festive season.
