Cedi

Last week

Cedi holds in the ₵11.6–11.8 band, down about 11% for the year

The Bank of Ghana interbank rate sits near ₵11.6–11.8 to the dollar, with forex bureaus quoting around ₵12.30. The cedi is down roughly 11% against the dollar since the start of the year as second-half import demand and energy costs weigh, partly offset by gold receipts. The widening bureau spread is the clearest tell that importers are paying up for dollars.

T-bills

Last week

T-bill yields hold near multi-year lows at the latest auction

The 91-day cleared around 4.62%, the 182-day near 6.31% and the 364-day about 9.71% at the latest weekly auction — essentially flat on the 12 October auction and consistent with inflation easing to roughly 5.2% (September, Ghana Statistical Service). The curve stays steep, paying about five points more to lock a year than to roll 91-day paper.

Fuel

Last week

Fuel floors ease for the second October window — but LPG jumps 18.5%

The NPA set 16–31 October floors at ₵16.09/L for petrol and ₵17.09/L for diesel, both down slightly from ₵16.45 and ₵17.97 in the first-October window as world product prices softened. LPG ran the other way, rising to ₵13.87/kg from ₵11.10 — an 18.5% jump. COMAC projects pumps around ₵17.67 for petrol and ₵19.30 for diesel on a cash basis. Petrol at the pump is up roughly 21% since early August, when this site last recorded ₵14.53.
