MTN Ghana Foundation is inviting Ghanaians to nominate unsung heroes whose selfless service is creating lasting change in their communities for Heroes of Change Season 8.

Nominations are open until 19 October 2026. The public is encouraged to nominate individuals whose work demonstrates clear and sustainable impact in Education, Health or Economic Empowerment. Nominations may be submitted through the MTN Ghana website at www.mtn.com.gh or delivered at any MTN Service Centre.

With the belief that ordinary people can drive extraordinary change, the initiative celebrates individuals transforming lives through commitment, compassion and service.

The overall winner will receive GHS400,000, while each of the three category winners will receive GHS200,000 to support and scale their initiatives. Nominators of the 10 finalists will also be rewarded, with special prizes presented for outstanding contributions in Sustainability and Digital Innovation.

Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, said Heroes of Change was established to recognise individuals whose quiet acts of service are transforming lives.

Heroes of Change celebrates people who serve their communities without seeking recognition or reward. Through Season 8, we want to identify and support more of these remarkable individuals whose work is creating sustainable impact and inspiring others,” she said.

She added that this year’s initiative aligns with MTN Ghana’s 30th anniversary and its “Force for Good” philosophy, which harnesses the company’s resources, partnerships and platforms to create meaningful impact and contribute to national development.

Over the years, Heroes of Change has provided recognition, visibility and financial support to Ghanaians addressing pressing social challenges, enabling them to deepen and expand their impact.

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. 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...
