MTN Ghana, Accra Floods MTN Ghana will donate relief items valued at GH¢2.5 million to support families and individuals affected by the recent flooding in parts of Accra. The support, which will be provided in partnership with the Multimedia Group and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), aims to bring immediate relief to people whose lives have been disrupted.

As part of this response, MTN Ghana, together with its partners, will provide essential items to meet the pressing needs of affected households. These include student mattresses and blankets, mosquito coils and repellents, and food supplies such as rice, cooking oil, tomato paste, canned mackerel, sugar, spaghetti, and oats.

Detergents and toiletries will also be provided to help families maintain basic hygiene in temporary living conditions. Distribution will be done in collaboration with NADMO to ensure that support reaches the most affected communities.

Speaking on the planned donation, the Chief Executive Officer for MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, expressed solidarity for families impacted by the floods. “We are heartbroken by the devastation caused by the flooding. Many families have lost their homes, their belongings, and their sense of normal life,” he said.

At MTN, we believe in standing with our communities, especially in difficult times. This support is our way of showing care, bringing some comfort, and reminding affected families that they are not alone as they begin the journey to rebuild,” he added.

The recent heavy rains caused flooding in several parts of Accra, displacing many families and leaving others in urgent need of shelter, food, and basic care.

MTN Ghana’s support is intended to complement ongoing national response efforts to assist affected communities. Through the partnership with the Multimedia Group and NADMO, the company is working to ensure that help reaches those who need it most.

As recovery efforts continue, MTN Ghana remains hopeful that this support will bring relief and encouragement to affected families as they take steps to rebuild their lives.

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.

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.

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...
