The Bank of Ghana (BoG) is placing greater emphasis on trust, policy credibility and domestic capital mobilisation as it seeks to sustain economic stability and support the next phase of Ghana’s growth agenda.
Speaking at the Money Summit 2026 organised by the Business and Financial Times, Second Deputy Governor Matilda Asiedu-Asante said trust, capital and stability are mutually reinforcing pillars that will determine the country’s ability to maintain recent macroeconomic gains and expand investment.
She noted that while inflation has moderated, interest rates have declined and international reserves have strengthened, Ghana must now focus on translating stability into productive investment and private sector growth.
According to Ms. Asiedu-Asante, investor confidence remains critical to reducing risk premiums and lowering the cost of capital. She stressed that a stable economy must also provide adequate financing to productive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and small businesses.
The deputy governor said the central bank is coordinating efforts across the financial sector to mobilise long-term domestic savings, including pension funds, remittances and capital market resources, for investment in the real economy.
“We have over 100 billion in pension funds, in our capital markets and in remittances,” she said, urging financial institutions to develop investment products that channel savings into productive ventures.
She added that initiatives such as credit guarantee schemes, alternative credit scoring systems and bank recapitalisation efforts are intended to expand access to finance and support sustainable economic growth.
