National Tenants’ Union declares support for NDC’s housing projects

 


The National Tenants Union of Ghana (NATUG) has publicly endorsed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) housing policies after reviewing various political parties’ proposals.

NATUG praised the NDC’s plans to establish an independent Rent Authority by transforming the Rent Control Department.

They also appreciated the party’s commitment to introducing low-interest rent advance schemes and promoting affordable housing options.

NATUG criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) housing promises, labelling them “recycled, unfulfilled, and broken.”

This announcement comes as John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, has vowed to prioritise low-cost housing for Ghanaians.

NATUG said the NDC’s housing policies align with its goals, declaring its support for the party.

In a statement dated Wednesday, October 2, NATUG said, “After comparing the housing policies of both parties, the National Tenants’ Union of Ghana have decided to endorse the housing proposals of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).”

The group called on the NDC to fully implement these policies if elected, to alleviate the housing challenges facing many Ghanaians, cautioning to hold Mahama accountable in 2028 if he wins the elections.

Furthermore, we call on the NDC’s leadership and their Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama to fully implement these policies if elected, to alleviate the housing challenges facing many Ghanaians.

“The Union will hold a future John Dramani Mahama-led government accountable to these promises during the 2025-2028 period.”

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...
