Past cedi depreciation caused by people manipulating it for profit – John Awuah

The CEO of Ghana Association of Banks, John Awuah, has revealed that a significant portion of the cedi’s past depreciation was driven not by real economic fundamentals but by calculated profiteering.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, May 29, Awuah described a worrying trend of currency manipulation that he said accounted for as much as 30 per cent of the cedi’s past falls.

“I once stated with no proper research behind it that I could clearly read that the extent of speculation in the currency movement was between 20 and 30%,” he said.

“So if there was a depreciation, about 20 to 30% of that depreciation is not backed by any effective transaction, but people who are just playing on the currency for temporary price adjustments to profit from the currency movement.”

According to Mr Awuah, these speculative players were not responding to trade imbalances or macroeconomic shocks. They were simply gaming the market for short-term gains.

“If currency is able to hold its own, what you are doing is making that trade unattractive,” he said.

“Now, the cedi is more attractive. So the people who are holding cedi, they are looking for cedi investments, because the currency is not depreciating as aggressively as we are used to in the past.”

He was quick to caution, however, that appreciation should not be mistaken for stability. For businesses, what matters is not necessarily a stronger cedi, but a stable and predictable one.
