The newly operational centers are strategically positioned to serve key communities: Bantama, Asafo, Anloga, and Alabar.

The initiative was hailed as historically significant by traditional leadership.

The Kumasi expansion is a key milestone for the RNAQ Foundation, which formally launched its food bank initiative at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on August 1, 2025. The national network now includes five existing branches in Accra, one in Cape Coast, and two in Tamale. The RNAQ Foundation remains optimistic and committed to its ultimate goal: establishing operational food bank branches in all sixteen regions of Ghana.

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.

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).

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...
