Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo: A Call for Safe and Responsible Real Estate Investment

International lawyer Evans Yaw Nyamekye has emphasized the importance of investing in Ghana's real estate sector in a safe and responsible manner. Speaking at the 3rd Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo, he noted that Ghana is recognized for its stability, secureness, and safety of investments, but stressed the need for due diligence before investing.

All over the globe, I focus on real estate in a safe, sensible way, because housing is key to what develops any nation," Nyamekye said, praising the organizers, Anna and Victoria Agyekum, for promoting Ghana's real estate sector.

He encouraged stakeholders to leverage the platform to invest in Ghana's real estate, saying, "Every one need to embrace the skills and the expertise provided by the property expo." Nyamekye also highlighted the importance of a trusted platform, saying, "When you're investing in real estate, it's always important. It's quite helpful to have a platform that is trusted, recognised and qualified to help you achieve your aim."

The London and Ghana based lawyer urged attendees to connect, network, and share ideas, saying, "Let's not forget it's not about what your country can do for you. It's all about what you can do for your country. And I know that with the determination we will get it right," adding that people with access to platforms and appetite for real estate should proceed with caution.

The Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo aims to promote Ghana as a destination for real estate investment and provide a platform for stakeholders to connect and explore opportunities in the sector.

The event, which was on theme resolving obstacles in the Ghanaian property market, has government support from bodies like the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre and Ghana Diaspora Office. Plans are underway to expand to Dubai in March 2026, with events in the US, London, and Ghana. "We want to encourage Ghanaians living abroad to invest back home," Ann Agyekum said

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...
