"You sometimes need to trade money for experience" – Youth advised

 


The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of interoperable platform, Korba, Nelson Korshi Da Seglah, has advised the youth against making commitments solely based on financial benefits.

According to Da Seglah inasmuch as money is important, it should not be the priority of any youth chasing a dream.

He advised the youth to focus on personal development and to use every available opportunity presented to them as preparation for achieving set dreams and targets.

I would say that in as much as money is important, it should not be everything in the pursuit of your dreams. In the early days it should be about developing, training and preparing yourself to achieve your dreams,” Nelson Korshi Da Seglah said in an interview with Y107.9FM’s Rev Erskine, host of the ‘Myd Morning Radio’ show on the Y Leaderboard Series.

According to him, some youth turn down good opportunities if the financial benefits are not attractive.

But I learnt that no experience is bad experience, so everything adds up as there is a reason why we go through everything we do. Sometimes you need to trade money for the experiences you will get,” he added.

Da Seglah said he made this trade himself when he started Korba, insisting that it has been worthwhile.

The former employee of Unilever described his time with the global brand as an opportunity to develop towards the attainment of his life goals.

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...
