    NEWNPA Raises Fuel Price Floor, Petrol Hits GHS 13.28

    Ghana's National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has increased the minimum pump prices for petrol and diesel, effective July 16, 2026. Petrol will now sell for at least GHS 13.28 per litre, up from GHS 12.79, while diesel rises from GHS 13.54 to GHS 14.35 per litre. This adjustment forces oil marketing companies to raise their prices, affecting transportation costs and household budgets across the country. The NPA's price floor policy aims to prevent market distortions and ensure stability within the downstream petroleum sector but has drawn criticism for limiting consumer benefits from potential price drops.

    NEWDigital Chamber Affirms Payment Stability After Zeepay Licence Revocation

    The Digital Chamber of Ghana has confirmed the stability of Ghana's digital payments ecosystem following the Bank of Ghana's revocation of Zeepay Ghana Ltd.'s Dedicated Electronic Money Issuer (DEMI) licence. The Chamber, representing digital finance institutions, acknowledged the central bank's mandate to protect consumers and maintain payment system integrity. They noted Zeepay's contributions but respected regulatory authority, engaging with the Bank of Ghana to minimise disruptions for customers, agents, and merchants. This event, concerning a single institution, does not reflect the broader strength of Ghana's digital finance sector, which operates under a strong regulatory framework.
