Zoomlion, Fumigation, Salary Arrears

Zoomlion Ghana Limited has assured workers engaged under the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) Fumigation Project that all legitimate outstanding salary arrears will be paid once the company receives the funds due under the project.

The assurance follows growing concerns among workers over delays in the payment of their salaries.

In a statement issued on Monday, August 3, 2026, management of Zoomlion acknowledged the difficulties caused by the payment delays and said it was working with the government and the various MMDAs to resolve the matter.

Management wishes to assure all affected workers that the company fully appreciates the challenges associated with the delay and remains committed to ensuring that every legitimate outstanding payment is made as soon as the necessary funds are received,” the company said.

Zoomlion explained that the current situation was due to delays in the release of funds under the MMDA Fumigation Project, describing it as an exception to its record of meeting its obligations to employees and field operatives over the past 15 years.

According to the company, it has been in continuous discussions with the government and the MMDAs to secure the release of the outstanding funds.

These engagements have been constructive, and we have received assurances that the necessary processes are being finalized to enable disbursement of the funds,” Zoomlion stated.

The company gave a firm commitment that workers would not lose their outstanding entitlements once the funds are released.

All arrears owed to our workers under the project will be settled promptly once these outstanding payments are received,” management stressed.

Zoomlion also expressed appreciation to the affected workers for their patience and continued commitment despite the financial difficulties caused by the delays.

We recognise the hardship any delay in payment can cause, and we do not take their continued commitment for granted,” the company said.

It noted that the workers' efforts had contributed significantly to public health and environmental sanitation through sustained vector control activities in communities across the country.

The company also acknowledged the right of workers to peacefully express their concerns and appealed to them to remain calm while engagements with the relevant government institutions continue.

Zoomlion also recognizes and respects the constitutional right of workers to express their concerns peacefully,” the statement said.

Management said it was encouraged that the concerns raised by the workers reflected a common desire to see the issue resolved and urged them to continue to have confidence in the ongoing discussions.

Zoomlion further reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its partnership with the government, MMDAs and its workforce to improve environmental sanitation and public health outcomes.

Management remains confident that the current challenge will soon be resolved through continued dialogue and cooperation,” the company stated.

The company said it remained committed to the welfare of its employees and to providing environmental sanitation services in support of Ghana's national development.

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...
