FX Strategy for Corporate Boards: The Best Time to Hedge Is Rarely When Everyone Is Talking About Currency

 A finance director in Accra still remembers a loss that should never have happened. Let's say the business earned in cedis but imported in dollars, the setup of most businesses in Ghana that borrow or trade in hard currency. Essentially, his team saw the risk, discussed it, and waited for a better rate. When the cedi moved, the margins that looked protected on paper simply disappeared. It was the worst kind of loss: not the one you fail to see, but the one you see coming and still invite to the meeting. That story is more common than most finance teams admit. Every business runs an exchange-rate assumption through its budget, and every dollar payment settles at the rate on the day. The gap between the two decides whether the cedi quietly supports the year or quietly erodes it and closing that gap is precisely what treasury exists to do. The job is not to predict the market, but to act while doing so is still cheap, before volatility makes certainty expensive. The executive blind s...

Building Green Cities: Experts Call for Better Planning, Waste Recovery and Sustainable Financing

 By Adade Gyamfi Building green cities is not simply about planting more trees. It requires a deliberate transformation of how cities generate energy, manage waste, finance infrastructure, move people and protect natural resources. That was the consensus among policymakers, sustainability experts and development partners during a high-level dialogue on green urban development, where participants stressed that Ghana must move beyond policy ambitions to practical, bankable projects capable of attracting long-term investment. They argued that while Ghana has developed several policies on climate action, energy transition and urban development, implementation remains slow because of inadequate planning, fragmented institutional coordination and limited financing. Waste segregation & circular economy Senior Sustainability Officer at the Jospong Green Transitions Office, Dr. Gloria Boamah Kusi, said efficient waste segregation at source remains the foundation of any successful circul...

Ghana has over 5 weeks of fuel in reserve – NPA moves to calm fears over Middle East tensions

  The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured Ghanaians that the country has enough fuel stocks to withstand potential supply disruptions arising from escalating tensions in the Middle East. The assurance comes as fears grow over the impact of possible conflict involving major oil-producing countries on global petroleum prices and supplies. It also comes days after the government announced a ¢ 2-per-litre cushioning for diesel following another round of petroleum price increases. Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, the Director of Economic Regulation and Planning at the NPA, Abass Tasunti, said ensuring the availability of petroleum products remains the regulator’s highest priority. We keep saying at NPA that our topmost priority as a regulator is to ensure availability of petroleum products at all times, because trust me, if the fuel was not available in the first place, I’m not sure people would be more concerned about the price you are paying at ...
