Speaking at a short ceremony to hand over the items to the school, Card Operations Manager at Stanbic Bank Ghana, Prince Anderson, noted that the donation forms part of the Bank’s core culture to positively impact teaching and learning in Ghanaian communities.

He stated that, “Education is a very important pillar in building a nation. At Stanbic bank we are very concerned about national growth and that is why supporting this school is very important to us. We are glad for the opportunity to support these young children and give them access to quality education here at Kotobabi TMA. In the past we have renovated one of the classroom blocks, provided sanitary towels to the older female students and this time we are focusing on the kids in kindergarten.”

We have noticed that a number of the children do not have uniforms and sometimes show up to school wearing regular clothes. To fix this, we are donating over a 100 school uniforms to the students. This is only the beginning and we will surely return to give more” he added.

Veronica Ghartey, Head Mistress of the Kotobabi TMA Basic School, who received the items on behalf of the school expressed her appreciation to the Stanbic team for their continuous acts of compassion.

She said, “We are very grateful for the support we have been receiving from Stanbic Bank all these years. Most of our pupils cannot afford school uniforms and show up to school in house clothes. We are very happy to the Operations team from Stanbic for stepping in once again to help these little ones with this donation. I believe it will go a long way to help them out and encourage them all to come to school regularly.”

Stanbic Bank Ghana, as part of its commitment to make the dreams of Ghanaian children possible has been supporting education in various ways over the years. Earlier this year the bank organized a STEM training camp for young girls in Senior High Schools. The bank has also supported tertiary students of the University of Ghana and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with their one student one laptop initiative for the past two years.

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...
