FIRST ATLANTIC BANK SUPPORTS OTUMFUO’s 15th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS


First Atlantic Bank Limited has made a donation towards the 15th anniversary celebration of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during a courtesy call on him at the Manhyia Palace.

Ben Barth, a member of the Bank’s Board of Directors led a delegation made up of the MD/CEO, Gabriel Edgal, Daniel Wilson Addo, Executive Director and other senior Staff from the bank to officially congratulate Otumfuo on the milestone.

Ben Barth on behalf of the Board Chairperson used the opportunity to formally inform Otumfuo of the bank’s rebranding and re-launch which according to him is the first of efforts by the Board and Management of First Atlantic Bank to re-invent a bank that is tuned to the discipline of global best practices and the passion of delivering a refreshingly different banking experience for every one that honours us with their business. “Re- launching the bank in Kumasi is to demonstrate our faith and commitment to the industrious, hardworking and illustrious people of Asanteman”. He added.

Edgal expressed the bank’s appreciation to Otumfuo for his immense support throughout the over 15 years the bank has been in Kumasi while mentioning that there was no better place to re-launch than Kumasi which is the heart of business in Ghana. The MD/CEO assured Otumfuo of First Atlantic Bank’s preparedness to support businesses in Kumasi especially with distributor finance, non-traditional exports, payments and collections as well as e-banking solutions.” We will help facilitate the movement of goods and services from Kumasi across the sub-region and beyond and share with the city First Atlantic Bank’s Purple Experience which is a distinctly different and unparalleled customer service experience driven by a passionate workforce and process efficiency to create value for our customers.” He asserted.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in his remarks challenged the bank to aggressively pursue a policy of financial inclusion so as to bring banking to the door steps of the ordinary Ghanaian. “There are still so many people and so much money outside of the formal banking sector and it is time banks adopted strategies that will give assurance to the people who still have reservations about banks. Let all our people no matter their status feel welcomed and appreciated anytime they interact with you” Otumfuo counselled.
First Atlantic Bank is a full-scale commercial bank with about 20 years experience in the Ghanaian market. Originally founded as a merchant bank, First Atlantic Bank has won several awards recognizing its excelling leadership in customer care, trade finance and corporate banking.

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...
