The Cedi firmed up by 0.01% against the Dollar as the
Federal Reserve’s concerns about the strength of the
greenback weighed. Rates by bankers for the local currency
versus the Dollar at the week’s close averaged GH¢3.20.
The local currency however failed to take advantage of
weak economic data coming out of Europe during the
week. The Cedi was down by 0.32% and 0.15% against the
Euro and the Pound to close the week at GH¢4.06 and
GH¢5.16 respectively. Against the Swiss Franc and the
South African Rand, the Cedi trimmed 0.06% and 1.08%
with midrates of GH¢3.35 and GH¢0.28 being quoted on
Friday.
