Ghana, in one dashboard.
Rates, inflation, cedi, reserves, trade, and commodities — the numbers that actually decide whether your portfolio is growing in real terms. Every metric links to its primary source.
Where Ghana is right now
Policy rate held at 27.0%, headline inflation at 17.8% (still double-digit but on a disinflation path), cedi down roughly 4% YTD against the dollar, reserves covering 3.2 months of imports, cocoa and gold still supportive of export receipts. Your real (inflation-adjusted) return on cedi assets is the difference between what they earn and that 17.8% — not the nominal number your broker shows you.
