Management Consulting: Report on Outlook, Opportunities & Threats of The Cedi Depreciation In Ghana
DESCRIPTION
I was the team lead for a study carried out by Pan African Bank on the opportunities and threat of the cedi depreciation in Ghana. The key objectives of the study were to: identify the underlying factors responsible for the rapid depreciation of the Cedi since the beginning of 2012, and forecast the outlook for the Cedi exchange rate in the short-to -medium term (3 years)- considering all possible scenarios. MSR was also required to predict any further measures that the BoG was likely to take, at the time, to stall the free fall of the Cedi and determine their likely implications. Importantly too, MSR was to identify the various opportunities and threats posed by the measures BoG may probably adopt to forestall the cedi depreciation and suggest what UBA Ghana could do to take advantage of the opportunities that may come up, as well as, steps to take to deal with the possible threats.
