Ghana Cedi (GHC)

The Ghanaian Cedi is the official currency of Ghana, abbreviated as GHS (formerly GHC) in forex markets. It is managed by the Bank of Ghana and is subdivided into 100 pesewas.

Example

The Ghana Cedi depreciated significantly against the USD as high inflation and fiscal challenges eroded confidence in the currency, prompting the Bank of Ghana to raise rates.
