British Airways launches Reward Programme for Ghanaian SMEs

British Airways has announced the launch of a new initiative, On Business, to stimulate Ghanaian business and forge long-term relationships with important business customers.

On Business, the airline’s new loyalty programme, provides rewards for small-to-medium size companies for their business travel. Companies registering for On Business will earn points on every British Airways flight, which can be turned into reward flights and upgrades.

Paul Dhami, British Airways’ Ghana Commercial Manager, explained that On Business is free to join, and a company only needs two or more travelling employees to qualify. “Companies joining the programme will earn triple On Business points on their first six flights taken with British Airways”. Dhami added that those companies already enjoying corporate incentive deals would not be eligible for On Business.

Dhami said that the programme has been made available online, in line with the airline’s initiative of enabling ease and convenience for customers. “When a company joins On Business, they would need to nominate a company authorizer, a programme administrator or an optional travel agent for their company’s account. To begin earning On Business Points, you only need to enter your membership number when making a booking; and bookings can be made either through ba.com or a travel agent,” he explains.

As an On Business member, a company earns points which can be redeemed for rewards, flights, upgrades, etc, when employees fly with British Airways. Executive Club members or members of a frequent flyer programme from any oneworld airline also continue to earn mileage and tier points in addition to the On Business benefits.

British Airways is also launching the On Business service in Nigeria and Mauritius.

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...
