BUSINESS NEWS | GHANA AND BEYOND 🌍 OCTOBER 02, 2026
🚩 Societe Generale Group has agreed to sell its entire 60.22 per cent interest in Societe Generale Ghana, bringing an end to more than two decades of French control of the locally listed bank and opening the door to one of Morocco’s largest financial groups. Under the agreement, Attijariwafa Bank will acquire 55.22 per cent of Societe Generale Ghana, while the Social Security and National Insurance Trust will purchase an additional 5 per cent. The transaction will give Attijariwafa a controlling interest in the Ghanaian bank, subject to regulatory and other required approvals in Ghana and Morocco. The value of the transaction was not disclosed. Attijariwafa is expected to take over all the activities of Societe Generale Ghana, including its customer portfolios and employees, according to a statement released through the Ghana Stock Exchange on Thursday.
🚩Ghana’s trade surplus shrank by about 70.0% from US$4.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026 to US$1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026. This was captured by the quarterly trade statistics report by the Ghana Statistical Services. According to the GSS, exports barely increased as it went down by 1.6%, while imports jumped by 47.5%. Therefore, the smaller surplus came almost entirely from buying more. This put the total exports value of the country at GH₵108.5 billion (US$9.6 billion) and imports at GH₵94.7 billion (US$8.3 billion), bringing the total trade at US$17.9 billion. The GSS explained that Ghana's headline surplus in quarter 2, 2026, was due to strong prices for a few commodities, above all gold, sold to a small group of buyers, measured by quantity.
🚩Star Oil Ghana Limited has announced its decision to rejoin the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), while calling for reforms to the Chamber’s governance structure to ensure fairer representation of its members. In a letter dated October 1, 2026, and addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of COMAC, the company said its membership would resume after it suspended its participation in January 2026 over concerns about the Chamber and its representation of members’ interests. The letter, signed by Star Oil CEO Philip Tieku, said consultations with oil marketing companies and other industry stakeholders, as well as appeals from fellow COMAC members, had prompted the company to reconsider its position.
