Ghana curbs offshore investments in bid to protect the cedi and stabilise the economy

Ghana has introduced new restrictions on offshore investments by local institutional investors as part of measures aimed at protecting the cedi and strengthening macroeconomic stability.

New investment limits target currency pressure

Authorities say excessive offshore exposure has contributed to capital outflows, putting pressure on the local currency and weakening domestic liquidity.

Policy move sparks debate among fund managers

While regulators argue the restrictions will help stabilise the cedi, some fund managers warn that reduced diversification options could affect portfolio performance.

Cedi stability remains a national priority

The currency has been a focal point of Ghana’s economic recovery efforts, with policymakers prioritising inflation control, fiscal discipline and investor confidence.

What this means for Ghanaians

Analysts say a more stable cedi could ease import costs, reduce inflationary pressures and support broader economic recovery, developments closely tracked by GhanaMedia.net.
