Recently, the South African rand has been depreciating against the cedi raising concerns on its impact on CPPC's cash flows. At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors, the Technical Director of CPPC argued that the current system of invoicing exports in the client's currency exposes CPPC to high exchange rate risk and suggested that CPPC should consider invoicing its exports in Ghana cedis.
