All the headlines that mattered this week and insights behind Ghana’s most talked-about events
1. Landmark climate-finance partnership signed
Fidelity Bank Ghana (a large indigenous bank) and the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) announced a partnership to scale private-sector investment in climate adaptation projects in Ghana. The collaboration will involve structuring “climate-proof” investments, building internal bank capacity, and supporting youth-led green tech enterprises.
2. Nationwide strike by waste-management providers suspended
The Environmental Service Providers Association (ESPA) announced suspension of its planned nationwide strike after the government (via the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development) gave assurances to address payment arrears owed to waste-management companies.
3. Government to recruit for major securities
Ministry of the Interior officially announced that applications for recruitment into four security agencies (police, fire service, prisons service, and immigration) will open from 15 November to 15 December 2025.
4. Stock market posts modest rebound.
The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) saw a small recovery: the Composite Index closed at 8,229.16 and the Financial Stocks Index at 4,188.68 in the 7,088th trading session. Why it matters: Though modest, the rebound signals improving investor sentiment and may hint at stabilisation in financial markets amid broader economic pressures.
5. Major summit on anti-corruption was hosted in Accra.
The Parliament of Ghana announced that it will host the 9th biennial conference of the African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNAC) from 7–9 November 2025 in Accra. The theme is “Strengthening Accountability for Sustainable Development in Africa.” Why it matters: Hosting such a gathering positions Ghana at the centre of continental efforts to address corruption and governance—an important signal of the country’s institutional ambitions and transparency commitments.
