‘Monthly disinfection of KIA has helped reduce Covid’

The monthly disinfection of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) has helped to reduce the spread of Covid-19 across the country, the Business Development Manager of Vector Control Unit of Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL), Madam Akosua Konadu Yeboah, has stated.

Madam Konadu Yeboah was speaking to the media on the sidelines of her outfit’s monthly disinfection of the airport on Wednesday, April 21, 2021.

The two-hour exercise, which was the fourth to be undertaken by Zoomlion, this year, covered Terminal 1 (otherwise known as the McDan Aviation) and Terminal 3.

According to her, the exercise was to augment the central government’s efforts at curbing the spread of the virus.

…and we scheduled it in a way not to cause any interruptions to operations of the airlines and businesses at the airport,” she explained.

Madam Konadu Yeboah indicated that Zoomlion was unwavering in its support to the government to fight the virus.

This explains why we are doing the disinfection at the airports on a monthly and regular basis. It is to make sure that the airport space is always safe for users and staff members,” she intimated.

The operation took care of every facility within the scope of these two terminals—offices, washrooms, restaurants, arrival and departure halls among others.

The objective, she said, was to ensure that all surfaces and open spaces that have come into contact with viruses are rendered inactive to protect users of the airport.

So we know the mode of transmission of this virus, and we know that it is spread through contaminated surfaces. So we disinfect all surfaces and spaces within the airport to ensure that any infected space/surface with viruses is made inactive,” Madam Konadu Yeboah stressed.

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...
