The Ghana Union of Traders (GUTA) has called for the fast-tracking of moves to ensure that Ghanaian traders are able to trade more in the Chinese Yuan when doing business with China.

Such a move is expected to reduce pressure on the Cedi because imports will not be done with US dollars.

Most of Ghana’s imports currently come from China because of cheaper cost when compared to similar local goods.

Speaking on The Point of View on Citi TV, GUTA’s President, Dr. Joseph Obeng, said, “even the central bank has accepted that [trade with China using the Yuan].”

“They are talking around that. Some banks have that initiative across, so it is the sure way to go,” Dr. Obeng added.

He noted that Ghana could explore a clearing system with China similar to the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System.

“We can also do a similar clearing system with China where we send our local currency to the local banks, and they have a clearing system with the Chinese banks where they clear with the local currencies.”

“I think this is the way forward, and central banks in Africa have started thinking in that manner. I think they have to fast track those initiatives that will lessen the pressure on the US dollar,” Dr. Obeng said.

Currently, the Cedi is trading at GHS 6.88 to the dollar.

This is up from about GHS 5.58 in the first quarter of 2021.

Increasingly the world is calling for a leader to topple global dollar domination, but China is still hesitant to take this lead, global dollar system benefits China a lot over the years , even more than it helps US, China is still unsure if it's in her best interest to replace it.
 
.
Russia, Iran, UAE, Turkey... and almost all non western world who constantly suffer from this global dollar domination all avidly push for a replacement.

The undermining of the dollar has been activated by Russia and China. Russia has backed golden against rubles and China is demanding goods to be bought on Yuan.. Interesting times
