The Bank of Ghana is under pressure from parliamentary lawmakers following the introduction of new cedi banknotes. The Minority caucus in Parliament has requested that the central bank appear before legislators to explain the new currency design. The move comes amid growing public interest and debate over the notes.
The new cedi banknotes, part of the Ghana Heritage Series, were unveiled by the Bank of Ghana with the aim of celebrating national identity and heritage. The launch was attended by President John Dramani Mahama and other officials. The notes are intended to strengthen public confidence in the cedi and reflect Ghana’s cultural values.
This is not the first time the Bank of Ghana has introduced new banknotes. Previous designs have included historical figures and symbols of national pride. However, the current series has sparked discussions about the role of currency in national identity and economic stability. The parliamentary inquiry suggests concerns about transparency and public trust in the central bank’s decisions.
