The Ghana cedi showed mixed performance against the major international currencies at the close of trading on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, according to the latest interbank exchange rates published by the Bank of Ghana (BoG).
Against the US dollar, the cedi traded at a buying rate of GH¢10.9745 and a selling rate of GH¢10.9855. This reflects a marginal depreciation compared to the previous session, as the local currency lost a few pesewas in value.
The British pound sterling was quoted at a buying rate of GH¢14.7980 and a selling rate of GH¢14.8139, also showing a slight depreciation of the cedi.
In contrast, the euro saw the cedi record a mild appreciation, with trading levels at GH¢12.7933 for buying and GH¢12.8049 for selling.
The Bank of Ghana stressed that these figures represent the average interbank exchange rates used by commercial banks for transactions at the close of business on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
Despite the fluctuations, analysts say the cedi’s overall performance remains relatively stable, as the Bank of Ghana continues its foreign exchange interventions and monetary policy measures aimed at supporting the currency and easing inflationary pressures.
The central bank has also cautioned the public against relying solely on speculative forex rates quoted on the retail market, urging stakeholders to refer to official interbank figures.
