BRITISH AIRWAYS CELEBRATES “ROYAL LONDON”

Following the recent success of ‘The King’s Speech’, and the Royal Wedding on the horizon, 2011 will no doubt go down as a “Royal Year”. London is preparing itself for an influx of travellers eager to catch a glimpse of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and British Airways wants to ensure everyone can experience the excitement this Spring.

Return trips to London from Ghana - excluding all taxes, fees and surcharges - available for as little as $499 with Business Class available from just $1,499.
On what is sure to be a quintessentially-British occasion, visitors to London will be able to catch a glimpse of the bride on her way to Westminster Abbey, and will witness first-hand the carriage procession from the wedding ceremony to Buckingham Palace. Travellers will have the opportunity to partake in the revelry of a British street party and other celebrations, as a public holiday will mark the day throughout Britain.

Spring is the perfect time to visit London, with visitors to the capital able to take advantage of the wide range of shopping destinations, or enjoying the mild weather in one of the many beautiful parks.

British Airways manager for Ghana, Paul Dhami said in a statement that the airline is anticipating increased activity around the Easter break, and advance bookings are encouraging. “Our customers are using our website, ba.com, not only to book and manage other aspects of their flights, but also to find out what the top attractions will be in the UK this season,” added Dhami.

Dhami noted that customers who are seeking their individual “royal” experiences are opting for the airline’s recently launched first class service. “Our First product has set the standard for premium travel out of Ghana - the onboard experience is in a class of its own, and it continues upon arrival at Heathrow Terminal 5; where customers can enjoy our world class arrivals lounges,” he explained.
Other top ‘Royal’ attractions in London not to be missed include: Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Royal Academy of Art, among others

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...
