Market Intelligence

Global Markets

We track global markets for one reason: they set the conditions African assets operate in. Global rates determine external financing costs, and commodity prices determine Ghana's external accounts.

Commodities

What Ghana sells

Gold and cocoa receipts carry Ghana's external accounts, which is why these two prices belong in any assessment of the cedi.
