The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has presented 900 dual desks to 74 schools in the metropolis to enhance quality education and promote effective learning.

Presenting the desks at a ceremony held in Accra last Wednesday, the Chief Executive of the AMA, Elizabeth Kwatsoe Tawiah Sackey, said the support for the schools formed part of the government’s efforts to provide quality education in the metropolis and the country at large.

She reiterated the government’s commitment to bridging the infrastructural deficit while providing a conducive environment for teaching and learning in the metropolis to enhance quality education and promote effective learning.

Sackey gave an assurance that the assembly would continue to create the necessary environment for schools within the district and appealed for the support of all stakeholders to achieve that objective.

She appealed to the education directorate and head teachers of the beneficiary schools to take good care of the furniture so they could last longer.

She advised the pupils to focus more on their studies to raise the level of education in the metropolis.

The Director of Education at the AMA, Stephen Abamfo, who received the desks at the City Hall of the Metro Education Directorate for onward distribution to the beneficiary schools, expressed his appreciation to Sackey for the presentation and pledged the directorate’s commitment to ensure a strict maintenance culture.

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...
