My biggest regret was not booking Bisa Kdei for a bigger venue - Akwaaba UK confesses

The CEO of Akwaaba UK, Dennis has made a shocking revelation about his regrets as a promoter and event manager. In a recent interview on Konnected Minds, Akwaaba UK admitted that his biggest regret was not booking Africa’s highlife giant Bisa Kdei for a bigger venue in the UK.

According to Dennis, who has over the years worked with series of top musicians including Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Daddy Lumba etc. the demand from fans to see the "Mansa", Asew" "Brother Brother" and "Mon Bebe" hitmaker was overwhelming.

Akwaaba UK admitted that over the years as an international event manager, he never sold tickets as fast as Bisa Kdei's tickets, and believes looking at the turn up for Bisa Kdei he could have easily filled the venue for two consecutive nights, yet he did for only one.

Bisa Kdei who is currently regarded as one of Africa’s highlife giants, has proven that his music travels far beyond Ghana, making huge impacts in the international markets for more than a decade. He is currently promoting his French single “Mon Bébé,” which has captured the hearts of many francophone fans and music lovers.

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...
