CITATION FOR MOTHERS’ DAY

Who fed us from their gentle breast?
And hushed us in their arms to rest,
And on our cheeks sweet kisses prest?
Our Mothers

Who ran to help us when we fell,
And would tell some pretty story,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
Our mothers

Thank you Mothers for being you…
The love mothers have deep in their heart,
always gives us a good jump start,
she is the one whose love is true.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. Through the love of our mothers, the Jews in appreciating their mothers have a proverb which says “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers”.

Mother's Day was first officially recognized in the United States in 1914 when the late U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday of May as the official date on which American families and children should recognize mothers, which came about as the results of the commendable efforts of American civic leader Anna Jarvis of Grafton, USA. Since then, Mother's Day became a vital family celebration in the United States and other European countries.

Mother’s Day, a day which is dedicated for the happiness and pleasure of our mothers. At Mother’s Day, we certainly leave all our tasks, we spend the whole day with our mothers. Though it is not enough in any aspect to spend just a single day with our mother but we can say it a nice initiative.

Robert Brault, a writer, once said if you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been.

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still she will cling to us, and endeavor by her kind teachings and counsels to drive away the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

Happy Mother’s Day
God bless all mothers.

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...
