Ghana's economy grew 5.3% in first quarter of 2025
Gross domestic product (GDP) in the world's second biggest cocoa producer grew by 5.3% year-on-year in the January to March, the data showed, compared with a revised 4.9% in the same quarter last year.
"This momentum reflects more than just numbers. It signals recovery and the confidence of an economy finding its rhythm in a very complex global environment," government statistician Alhassan Iddrisu told journalists.
Ghana is emerging from its deepest economic crisis in a generation.
Finance minister Cassiel Ato Forson said in March that spending cuts should allow Ghana to achieve real GDP growth of at least 4% by the end of 2025. Last year's economic growth was 5.7%.

Niger announces nationalisation of its only gold mine
NIAMEY - Niger's military government has announced the nationalisation of the country's sole industrial gold mine, accusing its Australian operator of "serious breaches" as the junta seeks greater control of natural resources. The military junta has ruled the West African nation since seizing power in a 2023 coup, promising to crack down on Niger's myriad security issues. Juntas in Niger, neighbouring Burkina Faso and Mali have ramped up pressure on foreign mining companies in recent years, with Niger nationalising the local branch of French uranium giant Orano in June. Australian group McKinel Resources Limited took control of the Societe des mines du Liptako (SML) gold mine, situated on the bank of the River Niger, in 2019 after purchasing a majority stake from a public firm. "In view of serious breaches (and) with a view to saving this highly strategic company, the state of Niger has taken the decision to nationalise SML," said an order from junta leader, General Abdourahamane Tiani, read on state television on Friday. "This measure is in line with the vision of the president of the republic, which is to promote the full appropriation of its natural resources by the Nigerien people," it said. In 2023, industrial gold production at the mine amounted to 177 kilograms, while artisanal production in the country totalled 2.2 tonnes, according to a report by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. Niger's junta said since McKinel's takeover of SML, the mine has fallen into an "alarming economic situation". It criticised the Australian firm for failing to implement a $10 million investment plan which the junta said has led to tax and wage arrears, worker layoffs and "significant increased debt", as well as production stoppages. In May, a bomb blast in jihadist-riven west Niger killed at least eight workers at the SML mine in the Tillaberi region. The army has deployed more than 2,000 soldiers to fight the jihadist groups in the surrounding region, at the epicentre of the violence wracking the country.

Ghana finance minister Forson made acting defence minister after fatal crash
Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has asked finance minister Cassiel Ato Forson to also act as defence minister after a military helicopter crash in which the defence minister was among those killed, the president's office said on Thursday. The helicopter was flying to gold-mining town Obuasi with five officials — including defence minister Edward Omane Boamah and environment, science & technology minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed — and three airforce crew on board when it crashed. None survived. Ghanaian authorities did not immediately give an explanation for what might have caused the crash. Forson was tapped to serve as finance minister in January after Mahama returned to power.

Nigeria's July oil output tops 1.8-million bpd, says regulator
Nigeria's oil production surpassed 1.8-million barrels per day (bpd) last month, with current average output at 1.78-million bpd, the head of the country's upstream regulator said on Monday. The West African country, Africa's largest oil producer, relies on crude oil for nearly two-thirds of government revenue and over 80% of foreign currency earnings, making production gains critical for stabilising its economy. But widespread oil theft, unrest and years of underinvestment curtailed output and strained public finances before Nigeria stepped up a crackdown in the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
