emPLE Ghana Begins Operations Following Successful Transition

emPLE Group Limited, a subsidiary of EverCorp Industries Limited, today announced the official launch of emPLE Ghana, following the group’s successful acquisition of the former Metropolitan Ghana businesses, in September 2025, which marks the groups formal entry into the Ghanaian Insurance Market.

With this development, Metropolitan Life Insurance Ghana LTD, Metropolitan Health Insurance Ghana LTD, and Metropolitan Pensions Trust Ghana LTD, will now operate under the emPLE Ghana brand.

For our customers, nothing changes in the protection and services they enjoy. All existing and in-view policies remain valid, and all benefits, terms, and contact channels continue unchanged. emPLE Ghana will continue to operate under the full supervision of the National Insurance Commission (NIC) and other relevant regulatory authorities.

Our customers remain at the heart of everything we do,” said Dr. Rafique Daudi, CEO/Country Head, emPLE Ghana. “You can expect the same reliable service you’ve always known, now strengthened by emPLE’s innovation, energy, and commitment to helping Ghanaians protect what matters most.”

Following this transition, customers will begin to experience emPLE’s people-first approach through refreshed digital touchpoints, simplified service processes, and upcoming product enhancements designed around everyday realities.

Olabisi Adesokan, Chief Marketing Officer of emPLE Group, added: “emPLE Ghana brings to life our belief that insurance should be clear, inclusive, and empowering. We are building on a trusted foundation, while introducing new tools and experiences that make our offerings more convenient and accessible to everyone.”

The launch of emPLE Ghana emphasizes our confidence in Ghana’s growing insurance and pensions market, where emPLE aims to expand access through innovation, financial education, and partnerships across the public and private sectors.

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...
