WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP
August 26th, 2011

Good afternoon, HHAF readers! Here’s the weekly roundup of all things Ghanaian in the news.

Quite interesting to observe the rise and fall of Ghana’s Cedi worth – it was noted on Thursday that the cedi depreciated in value for the first time in five days after showing strength. Readers will note that the drop in value is partially due to Ghanaian plans to produce 1.1 million tons of Cocoa – many companies bought the dollar to pay for the imported goods.

Enjoy the reading and HHAF wishes all supporters a safe, healthy weekend.
