BoG Governor says Ghana is positioned at the centre of the new financial markets era

Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Johnson Pandit Asiama, has said Ghana is increasingly positioning itself at the centre of a new financial markets era driven by macroeconomic stability, digital innovation and regulatory reforms.

Speaking at the ACI FMA World Congress 2026 in Accra on May 21, 2026, the Governor welcomed global financial leaders and highlighted Ghana’s growing role in shaping Africa‘s financial sector.

Addressing participants under the theme “Ghana at the Centre of a New Financial Markets Era,” Mr Asiama stated that resilient macroeconomic policies and credible regulation are positioning Ghana as a hub for financial innovation and investment.

“Stability is not the endpoint a financial system arrives at. It is the foundation on which everything else is built,” he said.

The Governor also highlighted developments in interoperable payment systems, the e-Cedi project, fintech regulation and regional financial integration as key pillars supporting the growth and modernisation of Ghana’s financial markets.

The congress brought together international financial market stakeholders to discuss trends, innovation and collaboration within the global financial ecosystem.
