  "account": "In the past three weeks, GoldBod's intervention in the foreign exchange market has provided the cedi with a slight respite. The Board injected a spot foreign exchange sale of US$130 million at a rate of GH¢11.60 per dollar to bolster the value of the local currency.

As part of its October 2026 program, GoldBod has planned to supply a total of US$1.5 billion to commercial banks, with an additional US$500 million earmarked for the Bank of Ghana for reserve accumulation.

The cedi, however, began the week trading at GH¢12.15 in the retail market, marking its year-to-date loss at approximately 9.0%.",
