Lord Fiifi Quayle Donates Pricing Uncertainty to Lashibi Senior High School to Inspire the Next Generation of Economic Thinkers

 Lord Fiifi QuaylePolitical economist, author, and Founder of Africa Macro Intelligence (AMI), Lord Fiifi Quayle, has donated copies of his book, Pricing Uncertainty: Black–Scholes, Risk, and the Future of African Finance, to the library of Lashibi Senior High School as part of his commitment to promoting economic literacy, critical thinking, and a culture of reading among Ghana’s youth.

The donation forms part of a broader educational initiative to make knowledge on economics, finance, risk, and public policy more accessible to students while encouraging them to pursue excellence in scholarship, leadership, and innovation.

Speaking during a brief ceremony at the school, Mr. Quayle urged students to embrace education as the most powerful tool for preparing for an uncertain future.

Life is full of uncertainty, but education equips us to face it with confidence. Every book you read, every lesson you learn, and every question you ask prepares you to make better decisions and create opportunities—not only for yourselves but for your communities and our nation.”

He encouraged students to remain curious, think critically, and believe that they can become the economists, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and innovators who will shape Ghana’s future.

Quayle also challenged the students to see reading as a lifelong investment, emphasizing that knowledge is one of the greatest assets anyone can possess.

The management of Lashibi Senior High School welcomed the donation and expressed appreciation for the contribution to the school’s library, noting that the books would serve as a valuable resource for students interested in economics, finance, and public affairs.

Pricing Uncertainty: Black–Scholes, Risk, and the Future of African Finance explores how uncertainty influences financial markets, investment decisions, and economic policy, while examining the unique challenges and opportunities facing African economies in a rapidly changing global environment.

The donation reflects Lord Fiifi Quayle’s belief that building stronger economies begins with investing in informed and empowered young people. Through his writing, research, and public engagement, he continues to advocate evidence-based policymaking and greater economic literacy across Africa.

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...
