Toyota outdoors two new brands of saloon cars in Ghana


Toyota Ghana Limited has outdoored two new brands of saloon cars onto the Ghanaian market.

The two cars, a 12th Generation Toyota Corolla and a new model; Toyota Agya, were outdoored at the company’s head office located close to the Accra -Tema motorway in a ceremony that was streamed live on multiple social media channels online on Thursday May, 29, 2020.

Built on Toyota’s New Generation Architecture (TNGA), the new Corolla comes in two variants with 4 cylinder 1.6 and 1.8 litre engines, and fitted with smart technologies such as electrochronic rare view mirror, wireless smart charging system, electronic impact sensing fuel cut, 7 inch multi-information display, telephone and voice steering  control, smart luggage opener  among others.

The Toyota Agya on the other hand is a new model designed after years of research and customer survey to meet the various usage conditions in Ghana.

 

With an automatic transmission and 1.0 litre 3 cylinder engine, the new model also comes with micro spray injector for optimized fuel efficiency and dual airbags.

In a speech read on behalf of the Managing Director of Toyota Ghana, Takuya Kajuira by the Head of Sales Operations; Andrew Lamptey, he described  the new Toyota Agya as the game changer in the small car segment in Ghana.

“This model which is best described in three words, Agile, Roomy and Stylish, is the new game changer in the small car segment in Ghana. I am more than convinced that you can take charge of tomorrow today by purchasing one.”

The National Sales and Marketing Manager of Toyota Ghana Limited, Jerry Mensah, said the Toyota Agya is designed with economic factors in mind.

“We are introducing unto the market an economic vehicle. The main production considerations for this vehicle is about economy, comfort, safety, ease of drive. It is quite expensive owning a vehicle in our environment, where you need to think about fuel, maintenance cost, space for utility etc. This vehicle is a 1.0 litre engine which generates a lot of power, but does not consume fuel because of the way the injection system is designed. This is the strength for Uber,” he said.

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...
