Untamed inflation creates extra headache for economy

Informal cross-border trade between Ghana and its three land neighbours reached GH¢31 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, surpassing formal trade valued at GH¢20.1 billion and accounting for six percent of the country's total trade.

- Ghana ranks among the world’s leaders in financial regulation but has paid dearly for failing to ensure its professionals kept pace. The last failure alone cost an estimated GH¢16.4 billion.

The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has dismissed claims circulating on social media that Government has already spent almost GH¢11 billion on the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project, describing the assertion as a misunderstanding of Government accounting procedures.

Fraud within Ghana’s traditional banking sector declined sharply in 2025, but a surge in electronic fraud at Payment Service Providers (PSPs) pushed overall financial sector fraud to a record high.
