A Presidential Aide, Dr Sammy Ayeh, has lauded the appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi, comparing how low performing it was between 2022 and 2024 to how high performing it has become in 2025.
He also lauded the Finance Minister and his team on their good work on the cedi.
He said Ghanaians must support our indefatigable Finance Minister to continue along the lines of fiscal prudence and his dogged pursuit of appreciating the Ghana cedi, reducing inflation and prices, reducing interest rates and revitalizing our private sector, thus renewing hope in the Ghanaian.
Speaking on Ghanakoma morning show on Akoma 87.9fm in Kumasi with Sir John, on Wednesday, November 5,2025, Dr Ayeh, pointed out that the current NDC government is spending judiciously.
“We have engineered one of the strongest currency rebounds in recent financial history. The cedi’s strength is putting money back into people’s pockets through transport fares reductions, and reduced prices of imported food products”, he stated.
According to Dr Ayeh, a reliable cedi helps businesses and industries plan and compete effectively while attracting long-term investments.
Referencing Ghanaian farmers, he pointed out that, cedi stability means the cost of farm inputs does not spiral out of control from one season to the next.
He added that a reliable cedi for the public sector means better debt management and frees enough resources for infrastructure, and for students and young ones, it means fees,books , and jobs are more predictable.
He touched on how the country had weathered domestic and global storms. He said government is addressing the needs of ordinary Ghanaians.
He assured Ghanaians to expect good budget for 2026.
He was happy about how high the cedi had soared, citing that it had not only recovered but also soared.
“Sir John, confidence is returning to the markets, the investors, and slowly but surely to our people,” he added.
