The currency of the world�s second-biggest cocoa producer depreciated 0.1 percent to 1.7088 per dollar as of 1:37 p.m. in Accra, the capital, a fourth day of declines, the worst run since Nov. 29, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. �Manufacturing and telecommunications companies sought the dollar today to import raw material and equipment,� Kobla Nyaletey, a currency trader at the Ghanaian unit of Barclays Bank Plc, said by phone today. �There were no major sellers on the market today.�
