The nation’s currency plunged 2.7 percent to a record low on Monday, which prompted the Bank of Ghana to call for emergency meeting.

Again, the cedi fell 1.6% on Tuesday, extending this year’s slump to 35% and making it the world’s worst performer among the 150 currencies tracked by Bloomberg, after bankrupt Sri Lanka’s rupee.

The Bank of Ghana’s monetary policy committee, meanwhile, held an emergency meeting on Wednesday to address the continuous weakening of the cedi and inflation.

The MPC in their meeting, hiked the rate by 300 basis points, to 22. As part of measures taken by the Committee, it raised the primary reserve requirement of banks from 12 percent to 15 percent. The Central Bank also indicated that it is working with the mining firms, international oil companies, and their bankers to purchase all foreign exchange arising from the voluntary repatriation of export proceeds from mining, and oil and gas companies.

However, it is yet to be seen if the policy measures will have it’s intended benefits.
