MTN celebrates 12 years of Ashantifest with exciting activities


 MTN Ghana is pleased to resume the celebration of Ashantifest, its month-long festival for the people of Asanteman. The festival was put on hold following the outbreak of COVID 19.

Ashantifest is an annual regional festival created by MTN to bring the brand closer to Asanteman while appreciating the loyalty of its cherished subscribers in the region for contributing to the success story of MTN. Since the inception of the festival over eleven years ago, various life enriching initiatives including the provision of community improvement projects, sports and entertainment have been brought to the doorsteps of several communities in the region.   The celebration also comes with specific promotional offers for customers in the region.

Commenting on the festival, the General Manager for the Northern Sector Nii Adotey Mingle said, “We cannot overlook the relationship between us and Asanteman. MTN has continued to remain a market leader in the telecoms industry because of your loyalty and support. This is the reason why all these years we set aside a month each year to renew our commitment to deliver distinct customer experience and embark on community activities to brighten the lives of people in the region”.

It is held in appreciation of the continuous support of the region to the growth of MTN. Other MTN initiated regional festivals include Suncity fest (BABE Regions), Twin City fest (Western Region) and Savanna fest (for the five regions of the North).

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.

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).

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...
