HFC Bank pledges support for Golf development

The Managing Director of HFC Bank, Mr Asare Akuffo, has assured his outfit’s unflinching support to the development and promotion of golf across the country.

Mr. Akuffo said this at the HFC Bank’s Invitational Golf Tournament held last Friday at the Bok Nam Kim Golf Course, at the Burma Camp oval in Accra.

Mr. Akuffo said golf serves as a form of exercise and well-being of the participants for people with busy schedules who cannot engage in sporting activities.

He said the objective of the tournament was to provide a platform for the customers of the Bank to stay healthy, interact and exchange ideas.

In the Men’s category A division, William Hackman emerged winner with a net score of 57 with Group Captain Gyima Kwakye and Larry Gbevlo-Lartey following in that order with 63 points and 65 points respectively.

The Managing Director rated the event a success and promised that they would continue to support the promotion of the sport in the country.

Nick Amarteifio was crowned winner in the Men’s Category B after a net score of 63 points followed by Omane Bimpong at the second position after returning a score of 67 points and Frank Ntim, on the third position on 69 points.

In the Women’s division, Aku Yaba came tops with a net score of 65 points with Aku Dovlo placing second with 74 points and Eunice Adzakpo coming third on 78 points.

The winners were presented with plaques for their efforts.

Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, Captain of the Bok Nam Kim Golf Course commended HFC Bank for sponsoring the tournament and urged them to take advantage of branding opportunities available at the Course.

The one-day event drew participation from over 40 golfers.

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...
