DBG welcomes new CEO, Dr. Randolph Nsor-Ambala


Development Bank Ghana (DBG) has announced Dr. Randolph Nsor-Ambala as the Bank’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective January 21, 2025.

Dr. Nsor-Ambala is a seasoned development finance professional with several years of executive leadership experience in multi-sectoral corporate organisations, including Promasidor Ghana Limited, Coca-Cola, Diageo, and MTN.

Over the past fifteen years, Randolph Nsor-Ambala has been involved in development assignments funded by development partners within the agriculture, manufacturing, education, ICT, governance, energy and health sectors that aim to position the private sector as the engine of growth, improve gender parity, address climate change and unleash possibilities for marginalised, underserved and vulnerable persons.

His appointment marks a new era of strategic growth, reinforcing DBG’s commitment to fostering a competitive and resilient private sector in Ghana.

In a statement issued, Board Chairman, Dr. Yaw Ansu, extended his gratitude to Kwamena Duker, the outgoing CEO, for his contributions to the Bank and welcomed the new CEO, expressing the confidence of the entire Board in the new leadership.

He noted that, “as DBG transitions into this new phase, the Bank remains steadfast in its mission to accelerate inclusive and sustainable economic transformation.”

Under Dr. Nsor-Ambala’s leadership, DBG expects to be innovative and catalytic, accelerating impact investing and technical assistance to propel transformative growth led by the private sector through access to long-term finance, fostering women’s economic empowerment, promoting environmentally friendly actions and aligning with contemporary ESG practices.

Since its inception three years ago, DBG’s wholesale financing model has facilitated significant disbursements through Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), unlocking projects and value chains to empower several businesses across agribusiness, manufacturing, ICT, and high-value services.

The Bank continues to be dedicated to bridging the MSME financing gap to ensure that Ghanaian businesses gain access to long-term, competitively priced capital, fostering resilience, innovation, and sustainable growth.

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%.

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).

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...
