Transactions in Ghana cannot directly be in dollars, so when a USD price is quoted for a foreign sale behind the scenes what happens is cedis are brought in, converted to dollars, then given to the foreign party. This creates a demand for dollars in Ghana, that puts downward pressure on the cedis. So this avoids that, hopefully reduces inflation.
