Highlife maestro, Agya Koo Nimo
Renowned highlife maestro, Agya Koo Nimo, has stated that he has found solace in the strengthening of Ghana’s currency against the United States dollar.
Speaking in an interview with Kafui Dey, Agya Koo Nimo was asked what gives him peace these days. He replied, “I’ll say the dollar, the way the dollar is coming down is good.”
He was asked why he felt good about the recent rates and he described how it has helped strengthen the economy and made life sustainable for Ghanaians.
“We are all with it. It should even come down more,” he said.
Since the start of 2025, the cedi has appreciated by roughly 40–50% against the US dollar, one of the best‑performing currencies globally in 2025.
It strengthened from around ₵15/USD in January to about ₵10–₵10.30 by mid‑June.
This appreciation has helped ease inflation, leading to cheaper imports and fuel as well as an increased purchasing power.
