In recent years, Ghana's economy has been a story of both progress and upheaval, and nowhere is this more evident than in its financial system. This book is a guide to understanding the complex and dynamic ecosystem of financial institutions, markets, and policies that underpin Ghana's economic activity. We will explore how a system that was once dominated by a few state-owned banks has evolved into a diverse and competitive environment, driven by ambitious reforms and technological innovation.
We'll start with the central bank, the Bank of Ghana (BoG), and its pivotal role in maintaining stability and managing the economy. We'll then delve into the backbone of the system: the banking sector. You'll discover how a painful but necessary "clean-up" exercise reshaped the landscape, making it more resilient but also creating new challenges.
