A three-member panel has been selected to oversee the MTN Heroes of Change project. After the close of nominations, all projects received will be reviewed and shortlisted by the panel. Shortlisted projects will be pruned to 10 and the stories of these 10 will be filmed and featured in a 13-week television show. A total of GHc200,000 has been set aside to reward the final 10 heroes.  Each of the ten (10) finalists will receive a cash prize of GHc 20,000, a certificate, and a citation. Their stories will also be showcased on TV and on MTN social media channels. 

Commenting on the MTN Heroes of Change “Special 25th Anniversary Edition” the Executive Secretary of MTN Ghana Foundation, Robert Kuzoe said,

I am happy to see this edition of MTN Heroes of Change been dedicated to reward COVID heroes. We want to honour the efforts of individuals and institutions who reached out to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 in Ghana. We want to showcase their work and celebrate them for their selfless contributions during the most difficult times of our lives. We are urging the public to nominate those extraordinary people who took the initiative to support their communities during the pandemic.”

MTN Heroes of Change was launched in July 2013 with the aim of identifying and recognizing selfless people who continue to sacrifice their time and resources to improve their communities and brighten lives. Since its inception, 50 heroes have been recognized and awarded for their contributions to society whilst five out of the 50 have emerged as the overall Heroes of Change winners. As a result of its impact, MTN Heroes of Change has won several awards.

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.

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

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...
