Ghanaians Receive Some Bàd News As BoG Drops The First Update Of The Month On The Exchange Rates

The Bank of Ghana has published its latest exchange rates for Thursday, October 1, 2026, showing the Cedi trading at ₵11.7159 to the Dollar on the selling side and ₵11.7041 on the buying side.

The latest figures have attracted attention as the Cedi continues to be closely monitored against major international currencies, particularly the United States Dollar. The exchange rate remains an important issue for households, businesses and other economic players who depend on foreign currencies for transactions.

Based on the Bank of Ghana’s figures, anyone looking at the official selling rate would need approximately ₵11.72 to obtain one Dollar, while the official buying rate places the value of one Dollar at about ₵11.70.

Movements in the Cedi-Dollar exchange rate can have implications for businesses and consumers, especially in areas where imported goods, raw materials or services are involved. Importers, for example, may need to consider prevailing exchange rates when calculating the cost of goods brought into the country.

The exchange rate is also closely followed by individuals who send or receive money in foreign currencies, as well as businesses that conduct international transactions.

The Bank of Ghana’s published rate serves as an official reference for the day, although the rates offered by individual banks, forex bureaux and other authorised dealers may vary depending on their operations and market conditions.

As October begins, attention will remain on developments in the foreign exchange market and how the Cedi performs against the Dollar in the coming days.

For Thursday, October 1, 2026, the Bank of Ghana’s published figures put the Cedi at ₵11.7159 to the Dollar for selling and ₵11.7041 for buying, representing the latest official exchange-rate reference released by the central bank.
