Ghana Airports emerges best ERM complaint institution

 


The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has been adjudged the best enterprise risk management (ERM) compliant institution in the state-owned enterprises category for the 2022-2023 auditing year by the Internal Audit Agency (IAA).

The award was presented during the 2023 Internal Audit Conference held at the University of Professional Studies, Accra on Friday, September 15, 2023.

Enterprise Risk Management is the process of identifying, analysing, managing and monitoring current and emerging risks in an integrated way across the breadth of the enterprise.

It provides the methodology for integrating risk into the strategic planning and resource allocation processes at the strategic level.

GACL has maintained an effective, consistent and transparent system of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in accordance with ISO 31000:2018.

The Managing Director (MD) of GACL, Pamela Djamson -Tettey, in an interview after the event in Accra said “We deem it a great privilege to receive this recognition from the Internal Audit Agency.

“This award is a validation of GACL’s internal systems designed to monitor and promptly manage current and emerging risks within the organisation, which are working well”.

She said for an industry that thrives on safety, GACL prioritises risk management and continuously updates its risk register to reflect current trends.

He said the award would undoubtedly spur the team on to ensure that enterprise risk management was embedded in all facets of the organization.

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...
