It cannot always be a laugh a minute. This rematch between elite football’s two genuinely enthralling propositions did not veer as wildly as the previous week’s rollercoaster and, in truth, was probably never going to. What it did provide was more proof of Paris Saint-Germain’s all-round brilliance, manifested in an ability to put business and pleasure on equal pegging.They held a largely off-key Bayern Munich at arm’s length for most of the night, only allowing Harry Kane a few seconds to pursue his dream Champions League final when he hammered in near the end. PSG are the ones who will…
Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) Ghana’s private sector remained in expansion territory for a second consecutive month in April 2026, but a renewed rise in input costs for the first time in six months introduced fresh inflationary pressure that weighed on business activity and ended an 11-month sequence of falling selling prices, according to the latest S&P Global Ghana Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI). The headline PMI posted 50.3 in April, down from 51.4 in March but remaining above the 50.0 no-change threshold that separates expansion from contraction. The index is compiled monthly from responses by purchasing managers at approximately 400 private…

Last year, Northern Ireland’s McIlroy became just the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam with his play-off victory over Justin Rose, and he admits the aftermath of his second Augusta triumph “feels a lot different”. “Even winning felt different,” McIlroy said before his PGA Tour return at this week’s Truist…

The Member of Parliament for Tano North and Member of Parliament’s Finance Committee, Dr. Gideon Boako, has raised concerns over how the Bank of Ghana(BoG) accounts for its financial position, arguing that its reported solvency is being influenced by non-recurring income sources.He said the central bank’s claim of being solvent, based on a reported net profit of about GH¢5 billion, does not fully reflect underlying financial realities when key components of its income are examined.“The Central Bank says we are solvent because we made a net profit of about GHS5 billion or so,” he noted.However, Dr. Boako pointed to what…
Paris St-Germain set up a Champions League final against Arsenal as they overcame Bayern Munich to stay on course to retain their crown. The semi-final second leg was not a classic like the first encounter in Paris, which saw Luis Enrique’s holders take a 5-4 advantage to Munich’s Allianz Arena. Harry Kane scored his 55th goal of the season for Bayern deep into stoppage time, but it could not provide any consolation on a night of bitter disappointment for Vincent Kompany’s side. It was almost impossible to repeat the stunning standards of the first leg, but this was still a…

Residents living along the hillsides of Kasoa are raising concerns over increasing soil erosion as heavier and more unpredictable rainfall linked to climate change continues to threaten homes and livelihoods. People in several hillside communities say what used to be manageable seasonal rains have now become intense downpours that wash away soil, create deep gullies, and weaken the foundations of buildings. They blame rapid construction on slopes, poor drainage systems, and the removal of trees for worsening the problem. According to residents, each heavy rainfall now leaves fresh signs of destruction and fear. Esther, who has lived in one of…
TWENTY TWO suspected female Nigerian prostitutes have been arrested in Kumasi after used condoms reportedly exposed their activities to city authorities. The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), led by Richard Ofori-Agyeman Boadi, had embarked on a major clean-up exercise in Kumasi over the weekend.

Ghana’s Political Parties Act says no individual should contribute more than necessary and requires parties to have offices in all the 16 regions. In reality, the NPP and NDC run global branches and access state resources when in power, while smaller parties struggle to survive.The result is politics driven by money, not ideas. Campaigns are won by those who can pay, not those with the best policy. The law is unenforceable, entrenches inequality, and hides the true cost of campaigns from voters.Fourteen African countries now regulate party finance. Sought Africa bans foreign donations and publishes donor reports. Uganda ties state…
Inflation Ghana’s headline inflation rose to 3.4 percent in April 2026 from 3.2 percent in March, ending a 15-month disinflation streak, with services costs emerging as the primary structural concern, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) reported on Wednesday. While the overall uptick was modest, the composition of the data tells a more pointed story. Services inflation surged from 7.2 percent to 9.6 percent between March and April, driven by rising costs in housing, education, utilities, and accommodation. That acceleration stands in sharp contrast to goods inflation, which eased to 1.1 percent from 1.7 percent, suggesting that physical commodity prices are…

Farmers Ghana’s two major agricultural programmes, Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) and the Feed Ghana programme launched in April 2025, have demonstrably lifted crop production, yet smallholder farmers across key value chains continue to face income pressure, exposing a structural gap between output and economic benefit that policy interventions have so far failed to close. The disconnect is rooted not in what farmers grow but in what happens after harvest. Ghana loses approximately $1.9 billion annually from post-harvest losses, which diminishes the benefits of even successful harvests, with limited access to markets hampering smallholder farmers’ ability to sell their…

A legal luminary, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has said that the country’s inherited legal education system is no longer fit for purpose and risks undermining the country’s justice delivery if it is not overhauled. He said the system, largely modelled on the English legal tradition, had failed to evolve in line with the country’s socio-economic realities, leaving the legal profession at a critical crossroads. “We inherited a model we did not understand and which had no socio-economic relevance to our circumstances,” Mr Ansa-Asare, who is also a former Director of Legal Education, said.
