The panelists emphasized that the values and ethical principles of MTN Ghana are not only vital for the company’s sustainability and protection of stakeholder interests but also play a crucial role in enabling MTN staff to positively influence the larger society.

Participants were encouraged to report any unethical behavior through the company’s anonymous whistleblowing channel and to seek guidance from the Ethics Office when faced with ethical dilemmas.

 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%.
