The official launch of Cedi@60 is currently underway at the Accra International Conference Centre, marking six decades of Ghana’s national currency as a symbol of sovereignty and resilience.
Held under the theme “60 Years of the Cedi: A Symbol of Sovereignty, Stability, and Economic Resilience,” the event celebrates the enduring role of the cedi in Ghana’s economic development and identity.
Introduced on July 19, 1965, the cedi has undergone multiple reforms and redesigns over the years, reflecting the country’s evolving financial landscape and its determination to maintain economic independence.
According to the Bank of Ghana, the Cedi@60 milestone is not only a moment to reflect on history but also a chance to renew public confidence in the currency as a cornerstone of national stability.
President John Dramani Mahama is attending the ceremony as Special Guest of Honour, joining dignitaries, economists, and stakeholders in commemorating the cedi’s legacy and future.
