Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama has reaffirmed the resilience of Ghana’s economy and banking sector, while outlining key regulatory priorities to safeguard stability and support growth.
He noted that the domestic economy continues to show strong resilience, driven by growth in private sector credit, industrial activity, consumption, and trade.
“As we sustain stable macroeconomic conditions, let me reiterate that the banking industry must increasingly turn its attention to its fundamental role of financial intermediation and support for productive economic activity,” he said at the Post-130th MPC Heads of Banks meeting held today, 16 June 2026, at Bank Square.
He further emphasised that a vibrant real sector is critical to sustaining long-term health in the financial system.
Governor Asiama also urged banks to leverage the gains from macroeconomic stability and advances in financial technology to deliver better services to households and businesses.
He said “Banks must go beyond financing and increasingly position themselves as strategic partners to businesses. This includes providing business advisory services, supporting entrepreneurship, facilitating market access, and developing export clinics that help businesses identify opportunities in markets where your parent institutions, subsidiaries, and strategic partners already operate.”
“In addition, the Bank of Ghana will be collaborating closely with product leads of banks and other stakeholders to strengthen channels that convert remittance inflows into productive investments.”
