Krif Foundation is set to honour some of Africa’s transformational leaders at its upcoming Regal Influence Leadership Awards, a highlight of the Regal Influence Summit 2025.

The three-day summit, scheduled for November 28 to 30 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, will explore the future of governance, leadership, and sustainable influence under the theme, “Commanding Influence, Shaping Nations.”

The Regal Influence Leadership Awards

form part of the Foundation’s mission to redefine how influence and leadership are perceived across the continent.

According to Krif Foundation, the initiative is designed to honour achievement while inspiring a new generation of leaders grounded in ethical governance and purpose-driven influence. 

The Regal Influence Leadership Awards seeks to celebrate and immortalize transformational leaders across governance, business, faith, diplomacy, and social development, individuals whose influence transcends position, power, and privilege to shape lives and nations,” reads part of a background paper released by Krif Foundation.

The award plaque carries deep symbolism, featuring a golden African map that represents continental vision, ascending columns that signify progress and reform, and a royal purple base symbolizing dignity and stewardship, with green accents further reflecting sustainable governance and growth.

The awards cover 20 distinct categories, recognising achievements in governance, women empowerment, morality, business innovation, philanthropy, youth impact, and diplomacy.

Among the envisioned honorees in the governance and head of state category are Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama, Ghana’s former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shetima, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

In the religious sphere, the Regal Influence Awards will honour some of Africa’s leading voices including Pastor Jerry Eze and Pastor Joshua Selman.

From the entrepreneurship sector, Justice Amadu Bah of Sierra Leone, Madam Massogbe Touré, known as the "Queen of the Cashew Nuts of Africa" from Côte d'Ivoire’ and CEO of the pioneering processing company Sita SA and Madam Lynda Aphing-Kouassi, an Ivorian founder of Kaizene International, a firm specializing in human capital development and business transformation, are set to be honoured.

The gala night will feature royal patronage, diplomatic attendance, a red-carpet ceremony, and the presentation of commemorative citations and medallions.

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...
