The donation, which includes a cash component of GH¢30,000 and airtime worth GH¢2,000, was made during the festival's celebration on October 3, 2025.

Peter Bimpeh, Senior Manager of the Southeast Business District, represented MTN Ghana at the event, where he praised the leadership of Agbogbomefia Togbe Afede XIV for his visionary leadership in promoting development and enhancing the image of the chieftaincy institution in Ghana and beyond.

We are proud to stand with you, not just in celebration but also in partnership," Bimpeh said. "The Yam Festival's emphasis on gratitude, togetherness, and renewal mirrors MTN's own mission to connect people, families, and businesses across Ghana and beyond."

The theme for this year's festival was "Together in honesty and purpose, we build a just, peaceful, and prosperous nation." Bimpeh noted that this theme is timely and profound, calling on Ghanaians to work together towards building a nation that is peaceful, just, and prosperous.

We believe festivals are essential to our cultural heritage and play a significant role in the socio-economic growth of communities," Bimpeh added. "This is why MTN Ghana supports over 40 festivals annually across the country."

The donation was made as part of MTN Ghana's efforts to support the rich cultural heritage of Ghana and promote community development. The company also set up experiential centers at strategic locations during the festival to provide easy access to its products and services.

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.

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...
