FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 24, 2026
The attention of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) has been drawn to a publication titled “CSOs Laud MIIF’s Investment in Electrochem” published in The Chronicle newspaper of June 24, 2026, which created the erroneous impression that MIIF has increased its equity investment in Electrochem Ghana Limited (EGL).
MIIF wishes to state unequivocally that the publication under the headline, “CSOs laud MIIF’s Investment in Electrochem” is factually inaccurate in that regard.
The purpose of this manual is to inform and assist the public on the organisational structure, responsibilities, and activities of Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) (The Fund”), and to provide details of the types and classes of information available at MIIF, including the location and contact details of its Information Officer and internal departments.

structural challenges. It examines key macroeconomic trends and assesses
prospects across major asset classes, including equities, fixed income, and

highlights priority themes such as artificial intelligence, energy transition, and
critical minerals, and outlines key risks and opportunities to support informed
investment decision-making and strategic positioning.
The global economy expanded in the last quarter of 2025, largely led by the manufacturing and services sectors. In
October, the Global Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) Output Index recorded a gain of 1.15%, reaching 53
as opposed to 52.4 recorded in September 2025, signaling consistency with the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
projected Global GDP growth of 3% for 2025. Inflationary pressures also eased despite headwinds in trade conditions,
largely due to a downturn in export orders. The month of November, in contrast, saw a recovery and stabilization of
export orders. However, the Index posted 52.7, representing a marginal decline of 0.57% compared to the previous
seventeen-month high of 53. Manufacturing and service sectors continued to dominate global growth in November,
with the Services PMI Business Activity Index posting 53.3. India, the US and the Euro Area registered output growth
above the global average. In December 2025, the rate of global expansion softened further, largely driven by
unemployment concerns. Global PMI recorded its lowest in six months to 52. The last month of 2025 also signaled slow
demand in the coming months of 2026 as new orders marginally declined. Download this report to access more insights.
