Ghanaian Cedi vs. U.S. Dollar

- The Ghanaian government has failed to reign in the country's fiscal and current account deficit, and the Cedi (Ghanaian currency) is down about 20% Y-T-D.

- We don’t believe the measures taken to date will be sufficient to stem the weakness in the GHS performance relative to the dollar.

- According to Standard Bank, the forth coming bond auction is likely to see yields in excess of 26-28% from foreign investors – and the government is likely to accept such high rates.
