Reduce interest on construction loans - Real estate company appeals


 The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MCL Ghana, a construction and real estate development company, Richard M. Donkor, has urged banks to support private firms in the real estate sector by providing low interest rates on loans and prolonged repayment periods to help the private sector to flourish.

He said in the world over, private sector was the engine of growth for many economies, hence providing flexible lending support to the private firms in the sector would ultimately help to drive the country’s development.

At the launch of a four-unit townhouse at East Legon in Accra last Friday, Mr Donkor, who commended the government for supporting the construction sector through the EXIM Bank, said most banks were often reluctant in supporting firms especially start-ups with loans due to weak cash flow, a situation which could derail the growth of firms in the sector.

I urge banks to provide support to any real estate developer without hesitation, when that developer is able to purchase a land and uses same land as collateral to secure a loan facility to complete a construction on that land," he added.

Launch

Dubbed: “The Topaz Court”, the project, the latest to be launched by MCL Ghana, which commenced operations in the country with a one-unit apartment in 2016, comes with a four bedroom each seated on a 45ft by 110ft piece of land.

These high-end luxurious houses, which come with a boys quarters, are currently being marketed and sold by Properties Portfolio Ghana Limited, a sister company of MCL Ghana.

Each unit comes with a swimming pool, a major departure from the company’s previous signature projects.

In addition, the units are secured with CCTV surveillance to ensure safety of residents at the Topaz Court.

Quality

Donkor explained to prospective buyers at the launch that his outfit prioritised quality in delivery of luxurious homes for the Ghanaian market.

In line with that, he said MCL Ghana purchased diverse building materials from different sources to ensure the best of finishing for its clients.

What we do at MCL Ghana is that we make sure we stick to quality standards.”

“We pay attention to quality and it is quality that makes us stand out among the rest,” he added.

Expectations

Touching on expectations for 2023, the CEO of MCL Ghana, urged the public to choose MCL Ghana for all their real estate needs as plans were underway to build more luxurious town homes, high-rising apartments, and stand-alone houses at Roman Ridge and Tse Addo.

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.
