The Ghana cedi stood out as Africa’s top-performing currency in 2025, appreciating over 40% against the US dollar, per the International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis of more than 20 major continental economies.
Joy Business reviewed the IMF report, which positions the cedi ahead of all tracked peers.
This contrasts with prior assessments from international news outlets and global financial firms, which had placed the cedi fourth on the continent.
