Support govt to turn economy around - Alan Kyerematen

 


The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, has called on the citizenry to support the government, as it makes efforts to return the economy to normalcy.

He made the call during the annual Gbidukor Festival of the Gbi Traditional Area in the Volta Region last Friday.

Kyerematen urged the gathering to be patient as the government stepped up plans to revive the economy.

He stressed that the government was very much in tune with the current hardships, adding “government is relentless in its efforts to turn things around so we can all enjoy the good times again.”

He commended the Fiagba of the Gbi Traditional Area, Togbega Gabusu VII, for the cultural revolution witnessed in the area.

While l congratulate Togbega, the regional minister, and other ministers of state and Members of Parliament of the region for their relentless efforts to bring development to the area, l assure you that government is very much in tune with the current hardships facing all of us, and is relentless in its efforts to turn things around so we can all enjoy the good times again,” he reiterated.

He encouraged the people of the area to support government’s efforts aimed at resolving the situation in record time, particularly the one district, one factory (1D1F) initiative.

Kyerematen indicated that the 1D1F was aimed at exploiting local opportunities to create sustainable jobs for all Ghanaians, particularly the youth in their home districts.

The Trade and Industry Minister said the festival celebrated in the area had developed a strong bond between him and the people, spanning over two decades.

The recent love and affection from natives of the Volta Region is a confirmation of the known love affair between the two us,” he indicated.

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.

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...
