Ghana, China business chamber supports entrepreneurs


The Ghana-China Business Chamber of Commerce has invested an additional Can$5 million as a credit line facility to support young Ghanaian business entrepreneurs.

This follows the offer of an earlier Can$20 million credit facility for young business people in the country to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the Ghana-China Business Chamber of Commerce.

The initiative forms part of the continuous support of the chamber to young Ghanaians engaged in import and export business and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

In an interview, the Vice-Chairman and Secretary General of the Ghana-China Business Chamber of Commerce, Liu Wenmin, said the support would help many young people in the country to grow their businesses.

We want business-oriented young Ghanaians to thrive and accelerate their determination to develop various businesses.

The Ghana-China Business Chamber of Commerce was established in 2003 to promote business and cooperation between the Chinese and Ghanaian business communities.

It aims to strengthen trade relations between the two countries and to bring together importers and exporters from both countries.

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.

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.

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...
