President John Dramani Mahama will on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, lead the official launch of the Cedi@60 landmark celebration marking six decades of Ghana’s national currency at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The event, organised by the Bank of Ghana (BoG), is themed “60 Years of the Cedi: A Symbol of Sovereignty, Stability and Economic Resilience.” It highlights the evolution of the Ghanaian cedi as both a medium of exchange and a reflection of the country’s independence and economic journey since 1957.
According to the central bank, the Cedi@60 initiative will “honour the cedi’s enduring role as a cornerstone of Ghana’s economic identity” and encourage renewed national confidence in the local currency.
In a statement, the Bank of Ghana noted:
“The cedi is more than a currency; it represents our sovereignty, resilience, and collective belief in Ghana’s future.”
The celebration is expected to feature reflections on the history of the cedi, exhibitions of past currency designs, and discussions on monetary innovation and digital finance.
President Mahama, who will serve as Special Guest of Honour, is expected to underscore the importance of a strong, stable national currency to Ghana’s economic transformation agenda.
