    The Bank of Ghana's interbank mid-rate was GHS 11.6900 per US dollar on Friday 13 November 2026 (buy 11.6842, sell 11.6958). A week earlier, on Friday 6 November, it was 11.6400, so the cedi lost 0.43% against the dollar over the week.

    It recovered some ground on Friday itself: Thursday's mid-rate was 11.7100, so the cedi gained 0.17% on the day.

    Since 31 December 2025, when the mid-rate was 10.4500, the cedi has depreciated 10.61% against the dollar, on the convention the Finance Ministry uses in the 2027 Budget (10.1% to end-October, para 586). A year earlier, on 13 November 2025, the mid-rate was 10.9700, so the cedi is 6.16% weaker than a year ago.

    Against sterling, the Bank's mid-rate on Friday was GHS 15.4747; against the euro, GHS 12.9187.

    Fuel: window not yet published. At 16:31 GMT the National Petroleum Authority had not posted indicative prices or price floors for the 16–30 November window, which starts on Monday.

    Its latest-news page carries no announcement on the window. Pump prices announced by individual marketing companies are not an official NPA window and are not used here.

    The catch: a weaker cedi raises the cedi cost of imported fuel even when crude prices are steady. Brent was US$92.14 a barrel on 11 November, against an October average of US$123.93, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That is context, not a forecast of pump prices.
