Fidelity Bank rewards 2021 best performing agents

 


Fidelity Bank Ghana has held a series of engagement forums for its agents nationwide on the theme: “Mitigating Risks in the Agent Banking Business”.

The engagement forums were held in Tamale, Kumasi and Takoradi with the final in Accra for both Accra and Eastern territories at Atinka Village.

Among the activities that characterised the forum was the recognition given to agents for their sterling performance in 2021.

The forum also served as a platform for representatives of the various departments of the bank to train the agents in best practices in their operations.

To climax the annual Fidelity Agent Engagement Forum, S-Duah Enterprise from the Ashanti Region was crowned the 2021 Overall Best Agent and was presented with a motor bicycle and a certificate of recognition.

The best agents from each of the five territories were also presented with certificates and smart TVs. The first runners up received double-door fridges, while the most improved agents were awarded with LG sound systems and the best agent attendants went home with microwaves.

Speaking at the event, the Divisional Director, Retail Banking of Fidelity Bank, Nana Esi Idun-Arkhurst, pledged the bank’s unflinching support to agents and commended them for their significant contribution to the successes chalked up by the bank; most notably their contribution to Fidelity’s financial inclusion drive.

We appreciate the milestones our agents have achieved as they have boosted financial inclusion in many communities.

To ensure that this trend continues, Fidelity Bank is committed to improving our agency banking operations so that we can better serve even more customers,” she said.

Nana Esi added that Fidelity Bank would keep expanding its agent network to bring banking closer to the doorsteps of Ghanaians.

She noted that the bank also intended to create employment for more Ghanaians across the country.

Addressing the agents, the Head of Agency Banking, Dr. David Okyere, stated that; “Key among our 2022 initiatives will be our agent promotion campaign as well as the introduction of our agent locator feature, a tool on the Fidelity Mobile App that will show the locations of all Fidelity Agent Points across the country.”

Dr Okyere also noted that after a successful pilot programme, the bank would this year begin to offer liquidity support to Agents.

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...
