Nokia introduces alternative charging solution

Nokia Global Group, the manufacturers of Nokia mobile phones, has introduced a new alternative charging solution for Nokia mobile phones users especially to those in the rural areas, where there are no electricity. The new charging solution was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya.

This new product provides free and environmentally friendly electricity for mobile phone users. The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit consists of a charger and dynamo, as well as a holder to secure the phone to any bike.

When the kit is installed, the dynamo, a small electrical generator uses the movement of the wheels to charge the handset through the standard 2mm charging jack used in most Nokia mobile phones.

Now, with the Nokia innovative bike charger, people get even more freedom to use their Nokia without worrying about battery life.

Brad Brockhaug, the head of Nokia Africa, said bicycles are the most widespread means of transport in many markets around the world, so this is just one more benefit to be gained from an activity people are already doing.

“This is a great solution to a real challenge, whether people will use it due to limited access to electricity, or to be more environmentally responsible,” said Brockhaug.

He indicated that the product is compatible with millions of Nokia devices and bicycles.

He noted that they did this to improve the lives of many rural folks through this Nokia Community Investment.

The kit will be available before the end of the year in selected retailers and Nokia online and branded retail. After using this charger to charge mobile phones it last for more than a week.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
