Cedi remains under pressure due to Christmas demand; going for GH¢11.90 at forex bureaus
Externally, the Fed’s September rate hike and subsequent dollar strength added further pressure on the cedi, while weakness in the pound and the euro provided some cross-rate support.

The cedi remained under pressure over the fortnight, extending its year-to-date depreciation against the US dollar to 10.
