\"Sources <\/a>Sources say BoG reserves could have climbed to approximately US$14.2 billion<\/p>\n

The <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> (BoG) is said to have closed 2025 with international reserves at a record US$13.8 billion, making it one of the strongest reserve accumulation efforts in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

According to multiple media reports, sources indicate the reserves could have climbed to approximately US$14.2 billion if it were not for a US$709 million Eurobond payment made in December 2025 on behalf of the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n

The early repayment was reportedly enabled by stronger-than-expected government revenue performance in the final quarter of 2025 and reduced reserves to US$13.8 billion at end-December.<\/p>\n

Despite the Eurobond payments, the central bank added roughly US$5 billion to its reserve stock in 2025.<\/p>\n

Data from the <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> show that international reserves rose to US$11.4 billion by the end of October 2025, up sharply from US$7.4 billion in October 2024.<\/p>\n

BoG enacts strict new rules for international money transfer companies<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> reported that the cedi posted a cumulative appreciation of 40.67 percent against the US dollar in 2025, closing the year at about GH\u00a210.45 to the dollar.<\/p>\n

In December, average daily interbank market trading stood at US$19.7 million, pushing total monthly trading volume to approximately US$394 million.<\/p>\n

The robust reserve growth has been attributed to the BoG\u2019s reserve accumulation strategy and its domestic gold purchase programme, both of which played a significant role in strengthening the external position.<\/p>\n

The record reserve level is expected to support near-term stability of the Ghana cedi by reinforcing market confidence in the central bank\u2019s ability to intervene when necessary.<\/p>\n

Measures have also reportedly been put in place to manage these seasonal pressures, adding that they are not expected to pose a significant threat to currency stability.<\/p>\n
