Hosi, an entrepreneur and finance and economic policy analyst, says Ghana\u2019s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme played a decisive role in strengthening the cedi beyond IMF projections in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>He explains that while the IMF-supervised budget projected an average exchange rate of GH\u00a215.95 to the dollar, the cedi instead appreciated to an average of GH\u00a212.53. \u201cThis outcome reflects confidence driven by gold-backed reserve accumulation,\u201d Hosi says.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hosi, the IMF itself acknowledged that the DGPP enabled Ghana to meet its 2028 reserve coverage target three years early, boosting investor and market confidence.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that although global gold prices supported the outcome, the policy design and execution were central. \u201cThe stars aligned, but our actions mattered,\u201d Hosi notes.<\/p>\n<p>Hosi describes the currency appreciation as an unusual but welcome outcome within an IMF programme, calling it evidence of effective home-grown policy alignment.<\/p>\n<p>DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<p>DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senyo K.
