## Data updates

Each vertical page states its own refresh cadence and the date of its latest figures, because the cadences differ by an order of magnitude — the cedi moves daily, fuel every NPA pricing window, school and hostel fees once a year. Where a figure is older than its cadence, the page says so rather than presenting it as current.

- Cedi: daily 11:45 GMT from Bank of Ghana
- Fuel: every NPA pricing window (the 1st and 16th of each month), plus mid-window OMC repricing
- T-bills: weekly, following the Friday auction
- Data: weekly from MTN, Telecel, AT product pages
- Rent and sales: weekly from MeQasa, Ghana Property Centre, Jiji
- Prices: weekly Tuesday/Wednesday sampling at 11 markets
- Power: each PURC quarterly review (January, April, July, October)
- Trotro: each GPRTU adjustment
- Schools and hostels: annually each August
- PAYE and car: on statutory change (budget, tax act, GRA or NIC revision)
