🚩The Ghana Cedi continued its revival for the second consecutive week, supported by increased liquidity by the Bank of Ghana. This follows the Central Bank’s injection of US$199.8 million into the market, along with foreign exchange inflow of US$21.55 million from market participants. The Cedi recouped 1.42% week-on-week against the dollar. It also gained 3.03% versus the Pound and 3.36% to the Euro. The cedi quoted at a mid-rate of GH¢16.79 to a dollar at the close of the week’s trading last week.
🚩Sunon Asogli Power Ghana Limited has announced the resumption of operations at its 560-megawatt power plant following an emergency funding intervention by the government. The plant, which had been shut down due to financial constraints, resumed operations on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 3 PM. In a press release, the company expressed gratitude to the Minister for Finance, Mohammed Amin Adam, and the Minister for Energy, Herbert Krapa, for facilitating the release of emergency funds to address the plant’s critical financial needs.
