Prudential Bank Limited (PBL), a prominent indigenous Bank, has donated a Nissan Navara 4x4 pickup truck for the sixth year running to support the Ghana Teacher Prize. The vehicle will be awarded to the first runner-up at the upcoming ceremony, set for October 5, 2025, at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) Cedi Auditorium in Ho.

Presenting the vehicle to the National Teaching Council (NTC) on behalf of the Bank at a brief ceremony in Accra, Executive Head, Corporate and Institutional Banking at PBL, Edward Commey, expressed pride in collaborating with the Ministry of Education, the National Teaching Council (NTC), and the Ghana Teacher Prize to inspire educators.

Quality education is fundamental to societal advancement. Education equips individuals, fuels economic progress, and strengthens community bonds”, he said. Commey was accompanied by the Bank’s Head of Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Akosua A. Boahen.

The NTC Registrar, Dr. Christian Addai-Poku, receiving the vehicle on behalf of the Council praised PBL for its dedication to enhancing teachers’ performance. He stressed that honouring exceptional educators aligns with national goals and thanked PBL for its consistent support.

Dr. Addai-Poku also encouraged other corporate institutions to emulate PBL’s lead and contribute to the Ghana Teacher Prize.

The 2025 Ghana Teacher Prize, now in its seventh year since rebranding from the Best Teacher Awards, marks 31 years of recognizing outstanding educators. Since 1994, the Government of Ghana has rewarded teachers with prizes such as houses, vehicles, and monetary awards to motivate others.

This year’s event, to be held in Ho, in the Volta Region, will begin with a two-day symposium and exhibition at the Volta Serene Hotel on October 3rd to 4th, 2025, concluding with a grand ceremony at the UHAS Cedi Auditorium on World Teachers’ Day, October 5, 2025. His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, will attend as the Special Guest of Honour.

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.

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...
