Banking Brand Health Report: GCB maintains lead in Prompted and Unprompted Brand Recall metric

 State-owned bank, GCB, is still the country’s most recognised banking institution, according to research firm, Global InfoAnalytics.

This is because, GCB, per the Q2 2022 Banking Sector Brand Health Check report by Global InfoAnalytics, maintained its lead over peer banks in the country in the measurement of the Prompted and Unprompted Brand Recall metric of banks.




GCB first took over the number one spot from Ecobank Ghana in Q3 2021, and it has since then held onto the number one position till date.

In its second-quarter banking report, the research firm notes that GCB for the review period scored a prompted brand recall of 12.13%, followed by ADB and Ecobank Ghana, which scored 8.82% and 7.63% respectively.

GCB led the prompted brand recall with 12.1%, however, this represents a drop of circa 5% over the December 2021 report. ABSA also recorded a sharp decline compared to December 2021. Fidelity, Cal Bank ADB recorded improvements compared to the last period,” stated Global InfoAnalytics.

For unprompted brand recall, GCB once again maintained its lead with a score of 22.11% followed by Agricultural Development Bank which recorded unprompted brand recall of 11.44%.

Ecobank Ghana was ranked third with unprompted brand recall score of 8.64%.

Ecobank lost the first-place position to GCB in the first half of 2022. GCB recorded significant increase of 9.91% to 22.1%. ADB and Cal Bank also recorded improvement over the December 2021 period. The period saw most of the banks recording a decline in unprompted brand recall compared to 2021,” stated the report.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, Brand Recall measures a customer’s ability to remember the name of a brand and can be prompted or unprompted.

Unprompted Brand Recall measures how customers think about a brand when asked to think about its industry, whereas Prompted Brand Recall measures customer’s ability to elicit a brand name from their memory as a result of a prompt by a product or service category.

The Banking Sector Brand Health Report seeks to highlight how the various banks are performing on Key Brand Metrics (KBM) and provide insights that help the banks assess how they can track their performance against competitors.

The key brand metrics assessed are; Brand Recall, Purchase Intent, Brand Visibility, Net Promoter Score (NPS), Brand Equity and Brand Satisfaction.

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...
