The Bank of Ghana has announced new rules for exchange rate use at the ports. These rules take effect from July 22, 2025.
All shipping companies must publish their daily exchange rates online or at their offices. Customers must be told the rate before any invoice or payment is made. Invoices must show the currency, exchange rate, date, and total in cedis or dollars.
Rates must reflect the market and follow the BoG interbank rate. If there’s a dispute, customers should first contact the company, then the Ghana Shippers Authority. Failure to follow the rules may lead to penalties from the Bank of Ghana.
