Looking forward to your replies.

Who knows what it will be in a couple of years! I have been here for almost four years and in that time the value of the cedi has gone from about 1.5 to the US$ to nearly 3 so as a result the cost of living has increased considerably. Rent will depend on where you want to live and how big a property you require. Electricity and water have both increased in price and if you want airconditioning you might be paying around 500 cedis a month for electricity. Petrol is now not subsidised to the extent it was so a litre is now nearly 3 cedis. Ghana is not a cheap place to live so you will need a good income if you want to live an expat lifestyle
