Bank of Ghana Releases Official Daily Exchange Rates for Wednesday, October 21, 2026

The Bank of Ghana has released its official daily exchange rates for Wednesday, 21 October 2026. The rates show how the Ghana cedi is performing against three major foreign currencies: the US dollar, the British pound sterling, and the euro.

These figures are the average interbank rates used by commercial banks. They are based on transactions at the close of business on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Banks and businesses use them as a guide when they buy and sell foreign currencies.

The US dollar is buying at ₵11.6000 and selling at ₵11.6116. The dollar remains the most widely used currency for international trade in Ghana. Importers, exporters, and travellers watch its movement closely.

The British pound sterling is buying at ₵15.5104 and selling at ₵15.5270. The pound is important to Ghanaians with family, business, or education links in the United Kingdom.

The euro is buying at ₵13.0252 and selling at ₵13.0370. Many Ghanaian businesses trade with countries in the Eurozone, so this rate matters to them.

Exchange rates affect the cost of imported goods, school fees abroad, and international travel. They also influence the prices of fuel, food, and other everyday items. A stronger cedi makes imports cheaper, while a weaker cedi makes them more expensive.

Business owners can use the rates to plan their purchases and set fair prices. Individuals can use them to decide when to send or receive money from abroad. Investors also depend on them to make informed decisions.

The Bank of Ghana publishes these rates every working day. This helps to keep the foreign exchange market open and transparent. Members of the public can find the latest rates on the bank’s official website, www.bog.gh. They can also follow the bank’s updates on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn through the handle @thebankofghana.

Readers should note that rates offered by individual banks and forex bureaus may differ slightly from these interbank figures. It is therefore wise to confirm the exact rate before completing any transaction.
