Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has underscored the need to translate Ghana’s improving financial stability into responsible economic growth, following a high-level engagement with leaders of the country’s banking and financial sector.
Speaking after the meeting, the Vice President noted that 2025 had been a year of reflection and consolidation for the financial system, marked by efforts to restore discipline, strengthen resilience, and rebuild confidence. She acknowledged that when the current administration assumed office, confidence in coordination, consistency, and signals across the financial system had been significantly tested.
According to her, the progress recorded so far is the result of sustained effort and strong partnership between government and financial sector stakeholders. She stressed, however, that stability must now be carefully deployed to support effective financial intermediation, boost exports, and enhance Ghana’s long-term competitiveness.
Looking ahead, Vice President Opoku-Agyemang outlined three key priorities for the Bank of Ghana. These include deepening the quality of financial intermediation to ensure credit flows to productive sectors of the economy, strengthening integrity and supervision as financial reforms move fully from policy to practice, and investing in critical financial infrastructure such as payments systems, markets, and digital platforms.
She emphasized that these investments are essential to positioning Ghana’s financial system for a more integrated regional economy. The Vice President concluded by calling for continued sound judgment, strong partnership, and disciplined execution in the year ahead to consolidate gains and sustain financial stability.
