    Approved GHS 650 billion yields no 24-Hour Economy results

    New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated that the government's 24-Hour Economy programme shows no visible results, despite Parliament approving GHS 650 billion in public spending. He highlighted the absence of the 'one job, three people, three shifts' model, questioning the effectiveness of the government's approach. This criticism comes amidst concerns over youth unemployment and investor confidence, urging a shift back to tangible industrialisation efforts.

    Mobile Money Dominance Poses Financial Stability Risk

    Ghana's widespread reliance on mobile money, particularly MTN Mobile Money with over 19.3 million users, now poses a potential threat to the country's financial stability. Dr. Richmond Atuahene, a banking expert, argues that these platforms perform bank-like functions without commensurate regulation, creating 'shadow banking' risks. A failure in such a dominant system could disrupt the entire economy, impacting millions of users and businesses.

    Ghana fuel prices to rise July 16, petrol hits GHS 14.52

    Ghanaian motorists will experience higher fuel prices starting July 16, 2026. Petrol is expected to reach GHS 14.52 per litre, and diesel GHS 16.00 per litre. This increase is driven by renewed geopolitical tensions that have escalated international crude oil prices, worsened by a slight depreciation of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar and an upward adjustment of price floors by the National Petroleum Authority.

    US Embassy in Accra to halt most routine services for two weeks

    The US Embassy in Accra will suspend most routine consular services for two weeks, from July 20 to July 31, 2026. This comes as the Embassy undertakes essential maintenance work at its facilities, impacting non-emergency services such as walk-in notarial services and Consular Reports of Death Abroad. Essential services, including U.S. passport and Consular Report of Birth Abroad collections and emergency assistance for U.S. citizens, will continue. This temporary halt aligns with the Embassy's periodic practice of scaling down routine operations for maintenance, urging the public to adjust their plans.

    Dangote Refinery Prices Fuel in Dollars Amid Crude Shortages

    Dangote Refinery, Africa's largest, has started pricing its local fuel sales in US dollars, moving away from the naira-for-crude programme. This shift is a response to insufficient crude supply from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) and rising global oil prices. The change could increase dollar demand by fuel marketers and make domestic fuel prices more vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations in Nigeria.
