As the year draws to a close, we – at the B&FT – pause to reflect on the journey of 2024; a year filled with remarkable milestones, one where valuable partnerships were forged and others deepened.
It has been a period of transformative growth for our beloved publication and the nation at large.
Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed Ghana’s business sphere evolve against the backdrop of global challenges, local opportunities and a pivotal general election.
At B&FT, we are proud to have played our part by keeping you informed, inspired and engaged through credible, insightful and timely reporting. Our commitment to journalistic excellence has remained steadfast, and it is your trust and support that have kept us moving forward.
To our cherished readers, your unwavering confidence in us is the foundation of our work. Whether you picked up our print edition, engaged with us online or attended one of our events, your loyalty fuels our passion for excellence. Every story we craft, every analysis we publish and every report we curate is inspired by our desire to meet your information needs and empower your decision-making.
To our advertisers and sponsors, your partnership makes our journey possible. By aligning your brands with ours, you have enabled us to expand our reach, enhance our offerings and remain the leading voice of business journalism in the country. We are deeply grateful for your continued faith in our vision.
To our hardworking staff, your dedication is the heartbeat of B&FT. From our journalists and editors to our production and marketing teams, every member of the B&FT family has contributed to the success we celebrate today. Your commitment to excellence, even in the face of evident challenges, is nothing short of inspiring.
Finally, to the policy-makers, business leaders and industry stakeholders who have engaged with us throughout the year, thank you for sharing your insights, experiences and expertise. Your openness to dialogue fosters the vibrant exchange of ideas that propels our collective growth, and we are honoured to provide a platform for these critical conversations.
This year, we celebrated many milestones together. We explored the ongoing economic recovery, resilience of local businesses, championed entrepreneurship and spotlighted innovations that are shaping the future of our economy.
We examined pressing issues such as economic diversification, sustainability and digital transformation, ensuring that our readers remain ahead of the curve.
Our flagship events—the Ghana Economic Forum (GEF) and The Money Summit (TMS) —once again proved to be invaluable platforms for thought leadership and recognition. Through these initiatives, we not only set the tone for economic dialogue, but we also celebrated achievements and inspired progress and collaboration.
As we reflect on these successes, we acknowledge that none of this would have been possible without you—our valued stakeholders.
The festive season is a time of reflection, gratitude and togetherness. As Christmas approaches, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this season bring you joy, peace and the opportunity to connect with those who matter most.
Let us all embrace the spirit of giving and community that defines this time of the year. In our personal and professional lives, let us strive to uplift those around us, remembering that the strength of a nation lies in its unity.
The year ahead promises to be transformative for Ghana and the world. As we prepare for 2025, we are filled with optimism about the possibilities that lie ahead. B&FT will remain your trusted partner in exploring this new chapter, ensuring that you stay informed and empowered in a rapidly-changing world.
We are excited to deepen our coverage of key sectors, including emerging markets, technology, energy and sustainability. Our commitment to delivering impactful content remains unwavering, and we are working on new initiatives to enhance your experience as a reader.
Our events calendar for 2025 is already taking shape, and we look forward to bringing you even more engaging editions of the GEF, TMS and other special publications. These will continue to foster thought leadership, collaboration and innovation, driving positive change in Ghana’s economic landscape.
Beyond our content and events, we also recognise the importance of fostering connections with our readers and stakeholders. In 2025, we aim to strengthen these relationships through enhanced digital platforms, interactive engagements and more opportunities for dialogue and collaboration.
On this note, as we close the final pages of this year’s publication, we do so with hearts full of gratitude and optimism. Thank you for walking this journey with us and for making the B&FT more than a newspaper; for making us the trusted voice in Ghana’s economic narrative.
Your support has been instrumental in our success, and we look forward to continuing this partnership in the years to come. From all of us at B&FT, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Here’s to 2025—a year of innovation, growth and shared success!
