Bank of Baroda

Bank of Baroda, arguably one of the underdogs in the Ghanaian banking industry, is well known and established in India. With just one branch in the country the bank multiplied its profit margin five folds by the end of last year.

Having fulfilled the new minimum capital requirement of the Bank of Ghana, Bank of Baroda plans opening new branch networks in Tema in April, 2012 and another in Kumasi in the course of this year. The bank is further considering opening other branches at Spintex road and Takoradi in the near future. The branch expansion drive will further consolidate the banks efforts at serving its corporate clients without losing focus on retail banking.

The bank prides itself in being efficient and maintains high standards in banking. The bank was the second runner up for best corporate banking in the 2010 Ghana banking Awards. Parent bank of the subsidiary, Bank of Baroda, was voted as India’s best bank in 2010 and was also adjudged as the Best Large Bank- 2011 in India.

The bank always comes forward when it comes to corporate social responsibility, the bank donated in kind to the Osu Children Home, cash scholarship to brilliant students and also contributed in cash to sponsor activities of community policing.

Bank of Baroda Plc has recorded 180 years of uninterrupted profit and its subsidiary is following in the same direction.

The bank has significant international presence with a network of 87 branches/offices in 25 countries including 55 branches/offices of the Bank, 30 branches of its 8 subsidiaries and 2 representative offices in Thailand and Australia. The bank also has a joint venture in Zambia with 14 branches.

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...
