Kasapreko to list equities on Ghana Stock Exchange

Ghana's leading beverage manufacturer, Kasapreko PLC has announced plans to list about 25 percent equity shares on the main market of the Ghana Stock Exchange.

This is part of moves by the company to increase growth and scale up investments across the continent.

The Chief Executive of Kasapreko, Richard Adjei disclosed this to some shareholders and the investor community during the presentation of the Facts Behind the Figures series organized by the Ghana Stock Exchange.

Kasapreko has maintained an impressive growth trajectory since its listing on the Fixed Income Market, with 2024 revenue growing by 45% year-on-year to GHS 2.7 billion, driven by strong domestic sales and rising export demand.

Adjei disclosed that the board has given approval for listing equity shares on the main market by the end of 2025.

Coming unto the bond market was very historic for us as a local beverage company and we are glad for the support received so far this year. Thanks to the board and the investors, we have received approval to list equities on the main market. Thanks to the Ghana Stock Exchange for pushing us to achieve this and also to our arrangers, we believe that we have to get more shareholders so we can take advantage of bigger markets”.

Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange, Abena Amoah used the occasion to urge investors to support Kasapreko in their quest to expand more and contribute to economic growth.

The Kasapreko growth momentum continued into Q1-2025, with revenue up 52% and profit after tax climbing 184%, driven by sustained volume growth and disciplined cost management.

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.

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.

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...
