Stanbic assists Edwenase Rehabilitation Centre

Staff of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited at the Harper Road Branch in Kumasi, have donated items worth GHS 2, 500.00 to the Edwenase Rehabilitation Centre for the Physically Challenged, in Kumasi in the Ashanti region.

The donation was made up of a variety of food items, toiletries, as well as used clothing, and an undisclosed amount.
Making the donation to the Centre, Branch Manager of the Bank, Joseph Antwi Sampson, reiterated the Bank’s commitment to improving lives.

“The call to reach out to the humanitarian needs of the disabled is at the core of our personal lives and it is always a privilege to reach out to others”, Antwi said.
He noted that for the past few years, the Bank had adopted the School, not only as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, but also on the personal humanitarian front.

Antwi further revealed plans to sponsor the construction of walkways estimated at GHS10, 500.00 on the compound, to check the spate of injuries among the students of the centre.
Receiving the donation, the Head of the Centre, Modesto Ibrahim Ayiwole expressed their profound gratitude to Stanbic Bank saying it is their hope that the relationship would be sustained.

Ayiwole indicated that the school is run on government subsidy, which for three years has not been forthcoming, and that the centre thrives on the benevolence of individuals and institutions like Stanbic Bank. Antwi used the platform to appeal to individuals and institutions to come to the aid of the centre.
The Edwenase Rehabilitation Centre is a Government of Ghana school for the physically challenged, set up during the first republic.

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.

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...
