Bank of Ghana Releases Official Daily Exchange Rates for Friday, October 9th, 2026

The Bank of Ghana has released its daily exchange rates for Friday, 9 October 2026. The rates are the average interbank rates used by commercial banks for transactions at the close of business on Thursday, 8 October 2026.

Against the US dollar, the cedi has a buying rate of ₵11.7741 and a selling rate of ₵11.7859. This means a bank buys one dollar at ₵11.7741 and sells it at ₵11.7859. The gap between the two rates is small, which suggests a stable trading environment.

The British pound sterling is the strongest of the three currencies listed. The buying rate for the pound is ₵15.5501, while the selling rate is ₵15.5668. Anyone sending money or paying fees in the United Kingdom will find these figures useful.

The euro is also listed. It has a buying rate of ₵13.1758 and a selling rate of ₵13.1889. The euro trades above the dollar but below the pound against the cedi.

These rates are important for many Ghanaians. Importers, exporters, students abroad, and families who receive money from relatives overseas all depend on exchange rates. Business owners also use them to plan costs and set prices. A stable rate helps people make better financial decisions.

It is worth noting that the published figures are interbank rates. Commercial banks, forex bureaus, and mobile money operators may charge slightly different rates when they serve individual customers. Customers should therefore compare rates before making a transaction.

The Bank of Ghana publishes these figures every working day. This practice promotes transparency in the foreign exchange market and keeps the public informed about the value of the cedi.

For more information, readers can visit the Bank of Ghana website at www.bog.gov.gh. The bank is also active on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn under the handle @thebankofghana.

Members of the public are encouraged to check the daily rates before they trade. Doing so will help them avoid losses and get fair value for their money.
