  • IFC Increases Its Investment in UT Bank
    PRESS RELEASE IFC increases its investment in UT Bank 30 March 2012, Accra: The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group today agreed to provide a US$5 million Senior Loan and a US$10 million Trade Finance Guarantee Facility to UT Bank, Ghana’s leading SME bank. The Senior Loan and Trade Finance Facility are in addition to an IFC Advisory Services Program and a combined US$15 million equity investment in UT Bank agreed to by IFC and the Africa Capitalization Fund Ltd (AFC), which is managed by the IFC Asset Management Company, on March 30, 2012. In total, IFC have now agreed to invest up to US$30 million in UT Bank. IFC’s 5-Year Senior Loan will help increase access to medium term capital for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana and help them capitalize on opportunities created by Ghana’s strong economic growth. The Trade Finance Guarantee Facility of up to US$10 million will provide UT Bank access to a global network of banks that will play a critical role in helping UT Bank finance cross border trade transactions of local companies, especially SMEs, thereby boosting trade in Ghana. Thierry Tanoh, IFC VP for Latin America and the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Western Europe, said, "Access to finance for entrepreneurs and smaller businesses is critical to the long- term strength of economies across Africa. Strengthening this partnership in Ghana is another step toward ensuring smaller businesses can realize their growth plans, hire more people, and have a bigger impact on the economy." “This transaction further consolidates our strategic partnership with IFC,” said Mr.

  • The State of the Economy: a Foundation of Concrete Or Straw?
    THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY: A FOUNDATION OF CONCRETE OR STRAW? Speech Delivered by: Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia 2016 NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate At the: National Theatre September 8th, 2016 Accra 1 Mr. Chairman, H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, Former President of the Republic of Ghana Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Honourable Members of Parliament Chiefs and Traditional Leaders Members of the Diplomatic Corps Representatives of other Political Parties Students Members of the Media Distinguished Invited Guests Fellow Ghanaians Ladies and Gentlemen Good evening! 2 I would like to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend or listen to this lecture on the current state of our economy. First of all, I would like to assure all Ghanaians that this lecture, as has been the case with all my lectures, will be based on an objective analysis of the data that we have on the economy. Ultimately the data and the facts will speak for themselves. So what does the data say about the state of our economy after eight years of economic management under the NDC, with President John Mahama in charge as head of the economic management team for four years and as President for another four years. RESOURCE INFLOWS Mr. Chairman, any assessment of the state of the economy and the performance of the government must be against the background of the amount of resources at the disposal of the government. At a public lecture in September 2008, then Vice-Presidential candidate John Mahama said: "To whom much is given much is expected." I would like, with his permission, to borrow his exact words to describe his government’s exact performance in the last 8 years.
