Keeping Ashanti Clean agenda gets boost

 ...As Zoomlion supports with 13 garbage trucks

In support of the “Keeping Ashanti Region Clean and Green” agenda, Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL) has presented 13 brand new state-of-the-art-waste collection trucks to district assemblies in the Greater Kumasi Area of the Ashanti Region.

The waste management trucks will help address the problem of lack of adequate garbage trucks and also ensure effective and efficient management of waste in the Greater Kumasi area.

Ashanti, Clean, agenda

The short but colourful ceremony, which came off at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council in Kumasi recently, was graced by a representative of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, the Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, and some metropolitan municipal chief executives (MMCEs).

Receiving the trucks on behalf of the assemblies, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Hon. Simon Osei-Mensah, expressed that the partnership forged between his region and Zoomlion would help improve upon sanitation in the Greater Kumasi area.

He said the area was saddled with logistical constraints in the space of waste management, one of which he indicated was the lack of adequate garbage trucks.

He, therefore, commended Zoomlion for the gesture and assured that the trucks would be used for its intended purpose.
“Now we will see sanitation in Greater Kumasi and its environs improved,” he averred.

Together with His Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, all Metropolitan Municipal, District Assemblies, Nananom and the people of Ashanti Region, we will ensure the proper use of the trucks and tricycles to promote a cleaner and beautiful Kumasi," Mr. Osei-Mensah again assured.

Ashanti, Clean, agenda

To this end, Hon. Osei-Mensah entreated residents in Kumasi and its environs to get involved in making the region clean and green.
The Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, reiterated his group’s commitment to ensure that the Akufo-Addo’s vision of ensuring a clean Ghana is achieved.

He promised that Zommlion will also make available tipping tricycles and aggressively help promote the One Million Bin agenda all in an effort to ensure a clean Greater Kumasi area.

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...
