Citizens of landlocked Mali are happy to pay a premium

If you’re from Mali, you already know the frustration of living in a landlocked country. Even though your country is rich in natural resources such as gold and cotton, it must import most of its food and other goods from neighboring countries. As a result, prices for imported products are significantly higher than those found abroad—and only getting more expensive due to inflation.

One solution is to shop at one of the many stores that stock foreign-made goods that can be purchased without paying prohibitive import tariffs or taxes. Of course, this requires some savvy shopping on your part: you’ll need to do some research beforehand so that when you find something interesting (like chocolate ice cream made with real cocoa beans), you can compare prices across several shops before making your purchase decision.

Wholesalers and retailers in the landlocked country of Mali who have to source expensive foreign-made products such as soap, ketchup, shampoo, toilet paper and even condoms from Senegal or Ghana

In Mali, a country where the average income is less than $400 per year, many people have difficulty buying basic products such as soap and toothpaste. Some even resort to making their own shampoo out of salt and egg yolks!

In Ghana, which has a slightly higher GDP per capita at $1,054 annually (though still below that of most developed countries), people often pay up to 10 times more for goods like toilet paper than those who live in Mali. This is because the government places high tariffs on imports from other African countries like Nigeria and Senegal.

Here are some examples:

• 1 bar of Lux soap = $3
• 1 tube of Colgate toothpaste = $6
• Shampoo = $17

sell the goods for the same price, in local currency.

You can sell the goods for the same price, in local currency.

The cost of goods sold will be different in another country. The price of goods may change depending on the exchange rate between local and foreign currencies.

It costs more money to import from overseas

• Trade tariffs
• Fuel costs
• Currency exchange issues
• High cost of transport
• Limited shipping options

As you can see, there are many factors that determine how much it will cost to import from overseas. It is important for you to know what these factors are so that you can make sure you have taken all the necessary precautions before you begin shopping.

The US dollar has been quite consistently depreciating against most African currencies over the last five years, but this year has seen a sudden turnaround with most currencies appreciating against it including the Nigerian Naira which has had one of its strongest starts ever.

The US dollar is the most important currency because America has the largest economy in the world. But if you are importing goods or services into Ghana and they are coming from Germany or China then you need to check their exchange rate with your local currency like Cedis (Cedi). It helps if you have a dollar account so that you can do this easily because you will know when there is an increase in demand for Cedi against other currencies such as Dollar and Yen etc.. This can change pretty fast depending on what happens outside of Ghana so keep checking daily for any changes that may affect your imports or exports business!

Mr Mwangi said that if you were going to import a car from Europe to Africa at long last you are going to have to look at the dollar exchange rate that day because your importer is going to be paying the price and the cost of that car in dollars.

The US dollar is the most traded currency in the world. It’s also used as the official currency of more than two dozen countries, including Canada, Australia and Japan. The US government prints $1 bills, $2 bills and $100 bills at its Bureau of Engraving and Printing facility in Washington DC. Each bill is printed on special security paper that contains red, blue or green threads woven into it to make it difficult to counterfeit.

The latest official rate is $1 = GH¢4.75 and this is on the way up from as low as GH¢4.50/USD1 in September 2015. The Naira remains strong at about ¢350/$1, with an exchange rate of about ₦360/$1 before it started to appreciate in May 2023 after almost three years of depreciation!

In 2001 we had three countries that did not peg their currency to the US dollar we now have nine countries who did not do so.

In 2001, Ghana joined a small group of countries that did not peg their currency to the US dollar. Today there are nine countries that have not done so. These are:

• Benin
• Ghana
• Guinea-Bissau
• Liberia
• Mali (for now)
• Mauritania

To see how the world has changed since 2001, I had to look at two things. The first was what were the main financial centers for most of Africa in 2001 and how do they compare with those in 2023? The second thing was whether any more African currencies had been pegged to dollars since then – if it had been hard for them before would they find it easier now?
