Sam Aggrey is the Executive Secretary of the Food and Beverage Association of Ghana
The Food and Beverage Association of Ghana (FABAG) has indicated that consumers could see another round of price reductions if the cedi maintains its current level of stability or appreciates further.
Speaking on PM Express on Joy News, as monitored by GhanaWeb Business, the Executive Secretary Sam Aggrey explained that the current stability of the local currency is allowing businesses to plan more effectively.
Aggrey noted that a stronger or more stable cedi could lead to a second phase of price drops in the market.
“With the cedi holding steady, it gives us a clear picture of how to price goods and services. If the cedi continues to appreciate or even remains where it is, we could see prices come down again,” he said.
He also highlighted the government’s role in influencing prices, urging further action to reduce taxes and review port charges.
He however cautioned that a significant depreciation of the cedi could reverse these gains
“Once the government steps in to cut some taxes and adjust port fees, we’ll see automatic reductions across many products. If the cedi falls sharply, businesses especially importers will be forced to raise prices again,” he warned.
