NEW CURRENCY INNITIATED BY BANK OF GHANA (BoG)

Bank Of Ghana Initiates GH¢100, GH¢200 Notes And GH¢2.00 Coin (Read Full Details & Check It Out)


Governor of the Central Bank of Ghana, Dr. Ernest Addison at a press conference in Accra City on Friday morning announced the introduction of new GH¢100, GH¢200 notes and GH¢2 coin in the country’s currency denomination.

Expatiating the rationale for the development, the governor said he believes the new currency will help shore up the value of US dollar which has eroded the cedi for over past 12 years and will help sustained high inflation and depreciation.

This exercise is aimed to eliminate four zeros from the existing units of currencies in an attempt to introduce efficiency in the economy and removes the dead-weight burden associated with transactions.
At the time of the redenomination, the GH¢1 was equivalent to US$1, the highest denomination then was the GH¢50 which was equivalent to the GH¢50.

Be Mindful Of Your Comments – Yvonne Nelson To Tracey Boakye

Actress and producer Yvonne Nelson has advised younger colleague Tracey Boakye to be circumspect in her utterances. Tracey came under fire days ago for revealing in Zionfelix’s uncut show that she had reached a level where she paid men to satisfy her sexual desires. This caused an uproar with people expressing their disappointment in Tracey for the careless comment. Tracey has since  apologised and retracted the statement .  Speaking to Andy Dosty of hitz fm, Yvonne asked Tracey and indeed all colleagues to be mindful of the great influence they have on the youth particularly. She however commended the Shakira movie boss for realising her error apologising.
