We are considering listing on Ghana Stock Exchange – Star Oil CEO reveals


 Chief Executive of Star Oil Ghana, Philip Tieku, has revealed that the company is considering the option of listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) as part of its long-term expansion strategy.

Tieku noted that while the proposal is under consideration, the final decision rests with the current shareholders of the company.

The Chief Executive of Star Oil disclosed this on PM EXPRESS BUSINESS EDITION with host George Wiafe on November 6, 2025.

It should be seen as part of our plans to raise capital as part of our expansion into new areas and consolidate our position in the industry,” Tieku said.

He added that if shareholders approve the plan, it will be executed in a way that protects the company’s indigenous identity.

Looking at the current growth path of the company, it is something that we have to decide on soon in terms of going public,” he explained.

Tieku further revealed that listing on the GSE is one of several options being explored to raise capital in support of Star Oil’s integration into other sectors.

Expanding into other areas

The Chief Executive also disclosed that Star Oil is working to venture into the tank farm business and bulk oil distribution as part of efforts to extend its footprint across the petroleum value chain.

The move is part of measures to fully take over the petroleum products value chain as a major operator,” he added.

Sustainability of Star Oil’s model

Tieku expressed confidence in the sustainability of Star Oil’s business model, dismissing suggestions that the company’s rapid growth is unsustainable.

I heard this thing some years ago that we wouldn’t survive the market. Today, we’ve moved from outside the top five to number one in the industry,” he said.

He emphasised that the company remains focused on continuous improvement and innovation.

We have not dropped our guard. We’re pressing ahead with the same principles and discipline that got us here. I don’t see this model collapsing any time soon,” he asserted.

The Chief Executive also reiterated plans to expand into bulk oil distribution to further strengthen Star Oil’s dominance across the petroleum value chain.

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...
