This is the most important thing to understand about exchange rates in Ghana, and most global converters get it wrong for the cedi because they only show the mid-market rate. The Bank of Ghana interbank rate is the benchmark banks and businesses reference. Forex bureaux and remittance services add their own margin, so when you buy dollars with cedis at a bureau you pay more than the official selling rate, and when you sell dollars you receive less than the official buying rate. Always check which rate a quote refers to, and compare it with the official rate first. See the official rate for any amount on the Ghana currency converter.
The chart above answers this from the Bank of Ghana releases themselves: each point is one official release, with no smoothing and nothing filled in for weekends or holidays. A depreciating cedi raises the price of everything Ghana imports, which is why the exchange rate connects directly to inflation, to fuel prices at the pump, and to the duty and landed cost of imported goods.
The latest Bank of Ghana interbank mid rate for the US dollar is GH¢11.6650, for the release of 16 Oct 2026. See the US dollar to cedi page for its buying and selling rates and history.
