BUSINESS NEWS | GHANA AND BEYOND 🌍 19/06/2025 🚩Ghana's year-on-year producer price inflation in ex-factory prices for all goods and services reduced drastically to 10.2% in May 2025 from 18.5% in April 2025. This is the lowest rate recorded since November 2023(1.7%). It also means that the average prices that producers received for their goods and services fell by 8.3.% in May 2025 from April 2025. The two most important contributors to the decline of producer price inflation in May 2025 were Mining and Quarrying (10.6 percentage points) and Manufacturing (9.5 percentage points), both accounting for 78.7% of PPI. 🚩The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has announced a partnership with Societe Generale Ghana Plc, a leading Ghanian bank, to increase access to finance in Ghana’s cocoa sector, support sustainable production, and improve market access for tens of thousands of smallholder farmers. Under the partnership, IFC will provide a local currency loan of up to $40 million equivalent through an unfunded risk-sharing facility to Societe Generale (SG) Ghana. The facility is expected to support up to $80 million equivalent in financing to enable licensed buying companies (LBCs) to purchase cocoa beans directly from smallholder farmers. 🚩Ghana has been ranked 10th in Africa for the highest fuel prices as of June 2025, even though local prices have declined for the seventh time this year. This development comes despite the Ghanaian cedi appreciating by a remarkable 24% since January 2025. According to data from GlobalPetrolPrices.com, fuel in Ghana currently sells at $1.399 per litre, placing the country 60th globally on the fuel price index. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📌 Invest with *Bora Fixed Income Unit Trust* and *Bora Balanced Unit Trust*, funds managed by a team of professionals to help achieve your much desired financial freedom.
