Dr. Johnson Kwasi Pandit Asiama, has, on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, inaugurated a Steering Committee supervise the development of a framework for listing some commercial banks on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).
This is to help broaden local participation in the ownership of key domestic financial institutions operating in the country.
If successfully implemented, the proposed listing will enable Ghanaians to acquire shares in the selected commercial banks to give them a stake in critical institutions within the economy.
This aligns with President John Dramani Mahama’s policy objective of promoting greater Ghanaian ownership of the national economy and deepening local participation in strategic sectors.
The Governor, Dr. Asiama, will chair the Steering Committee, with oversight from the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson.
Other members of the Committee are Dr Zakariah Mumuni, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana; Matilda Asante Asiedu, Second Deputy Governor; Mensah Thompson, Deputy Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Abena Amoah, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Stock Exchange; Chris Boadi, Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA); Dr Zakariah Abiba, Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NIC); and Louis Amo, Director of the Financial Sector Division at the Ministry of Finance.
