The continuous depreciation of the cedi has serious implications for businesses, individuals, and the economy as a whole.
- Prices of imported goods increase as a result of the cedi’s value falling. This increases the cost of such goods on the local market, as well as reducing the real goods and services that ordinary Ghanaians can buy.
- The fall of the cedi against its major trading currencies, like the dollar, influences nearly everything we buy and sell in Ghana, increasing the cost of living as the dollar appreciates against the local currency.
- Savings lose value over time because such funds can no longer buy the same goods they could have earlier on. A fall in the value of the cedi leads to a rise in prices, and your savings can no longer buy such goods unless you spend more on the same quantity.
- Purchasing foreign currency becomes more expensive as the exchange rate rises. Ghanaians who have to pay fees, buy from foreign online shops, or pay for services in dollars online have to pay more in cedis terms.
- Businesses face higher operational costs.
- Because the dollar is depreciating, travel abroad costs more.
- Inflation rates rise, creating more problems for the citizens and the local economy.
- Loans in foreign currency become harder to repay.
