The Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana has moved its demonstration scheduled for July 27 to July 29, 2014.<\/p>\n
The group announced a three-day strike beginning July 27, 2014 last week.<\/p>\n
The Association is aggrieved by the Central Bank’s forex rules introduced to halt the decline of the cedi.<\/p>\n
They contend that the rules are not business friendly.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, the Executive Secretary of the Association, Samson Awingobit, stated that the demonstration will draw attention to their plight.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to embark on a peaceful demonstration just to let the government of Ghana know that it has not been well for the importers in Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Mr.\u00a0Awingobit reiterated that the new Bank of Ghana policies are negatively affecting their businesses.<\/p>\n \u201cThe cedi continues to drop down drastically. Some of the measures weren\u2019t favorable at all, because of that, the importers can no longer import into the country\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n He added that the demonstration would begin from the Tema roundabout and its environs on Tuesday..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
