Bank of Ghana Governor Johnson Pandit Asiama officially inaugurated the Steering and Technical Committees for the Bank Listing Project during a ceremony at Bank Square on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
Describing the initiative as a strategic response to evolving structural changes within the national financial system, Dr. Asiama emphasized that the project extends far beyond mere procedural adjustments.
He highlighted the significant growth of pension fund assets, which have now surpassed GH¢100 billion, identifying them as one of the largest pools of investible capital currently available in the Ghanaian economy. According to the Governor, listing banks on the stock exchange will foster greater transparency and market discipline while purposefully linking long-term domestic savings to the banking sector. In his closing remarks,
Dr. Asiama tasked the newly formed committees with developing a framework that is both practical and credible, ensuring that the transition remains grounded in local economic realities while strictly safeguarding national financial stability and public confidence.
