MoMo loan defaulters can’t escape – MTN Ghana

 MoMo, loan defaulters

Dickson Amoung-Yam, MTN Ghana’s Field Service Manager (Network) in Kumasi, has urged  customers of the Mobile Money (MOMO) to repay the  loans they borrow from their accounts.

He stated that “Borrowers who take loans and refuse to pay can no longer escape because of the Ghana Card they used to register on their accounts.”

Mr Amoung-Yam gave the advice in an interview with the Ghana  News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a media and stakeholders’ engagement organised by the MTN Ghana in Sunyani.

He expressed worry that: “previously, some people used their SIM cards to access loans and later disposed them off for new ones to avoid repayment,” warning that if such persons tried to register another SIM card, they would be detected because their details are already in the service system”.

Amoung-Yaw encouraged all those who had borrowed money from the MOMO services to pay back on time so that other individuals could also benefit.

He reiterated that customer satisfaction drove the company’s operations, and motivated MTN Ghana to do more, saying that it was because of that commitment that the company was investing heavily to guarantee customer satisfaction of services.

Amoung-Yam urged customers not to hesitate to report service problems to the company for the needed attention.

He said there had been no barrier to the company’s existence, adding that: “Even farmers at their farms are now able to make calls and send messages from the forest,” which was an indication that every area in Ghana was gradually being covered with signals.  

Amoung-Yam said there were several Apps that customers could access to prevent the long queues that were often mounted at the MTN offices.

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...
