Tartu's Christmas village takes shape ahead of First Advent opening
Tartu is once again transforming Town Hall Square for the holidays, with an outdoor ice rink, Christmas tree and festive pavilions set to open November 29.
Dr Johnson Asiama, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, has assured Ghanaian citizens of a stable exchange rate during the upcoming Christmas season. Expressing confidence in the Cedi's performance, he addressed concerns about exchange rate fluctuations and their effects on businesses, importers, and consumers. At the African Virtual Assets Summit (AVAS) 2026 on November 2, Dr Asiama offered the promise amid worries about currency movements.
"What I can promise is a good Christmas as far as the exchange rate is concerned. We will have a good Christmas," he stated. The latest interbank exchange rates from the Bank of Ghana indicated that one US dollar would yield GH¢11.6142 for buying and GH¢11.6258 for selling. The central bank's reference rates also showed that one pound sterling was equivalent to GH¢15.5549 for buying and GH¢15.5704 for selling, while one euro was exchanged for GH¢12.9559 for buying and GH¢12.9678 for selling.
