Japan Motors named INEOS Grenadier partner in Ghana

 


Japan Motors Trading Company Ltd (JMTC) has signed on as the official retail partner for the INEOS Grenadier under the name ION Motors, in Ghana. 

The INEOS Grenadier is a rugged and uncompromising off-roader built from the ground up to meet the most extreme demands of customers. 

The Grenadier has undergone extensive testing across Sub-Saharan Africa.

A release issued by the company said: “With many years of experience in the local automotive industry, Japan Motors is considered the ideal partner to bring the all-new INEOS Grenadier to the Ghanaian market. 

Ghana is the seventh market in the Sub-Saharan region to join the growing INEOS Grenadier sales and service network.”

“To ensure a strong Sub-Saharan network, we have carefully selected partners in each market, who share our confidence in the capability and success of the Grenadier,” the INEOS Automotive Head of Region South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, Tim Abbott, said. 

He added that “Japan Motors has an excellent reputation in Ghana for customer service, which is a cornerstone of the INEOS Grenadier brand. We are excited to have them onboard and know they will do the Grenadier justice as the brand expands across the region.”

The Group Executive Director of Japan Motors, Nouhad Kalmoni, said: “This is an exciting new venture for us. The INEOS Grenadier is an all-new name, but we’ve done our homework and know this vehicle will appeal to customers in Ghana. 

We look forward to being part of the Grenadier’s success”.

He said that over the next few months, ION Motors, a subsidiary of Japan Motors, will be opening its Grenadier showroom at the Silver Star Towers, Airport City, while the first demonstrator vehicles are expected to arrive in Ghana in the second quarter of 2023. 

The Regional Manager-Africa, INEOS Automotive Ltd, Gilles Masier, underscored the importance of partnering with Japan Motors to provide Ghanaians with the best vehicle on the market. 

“As a new automotive brand it was very important for us to find the best partner in each market because we must make the best impression and from this, deliver and maintain high standards of quality and service. 

For us, Japan Motors was the perfect choice as the best dealer with full capacity in terms of sales and after-sales,” he added.

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...
