BoG intensifies push to list banks on capital market

The Bank of Ghana is stepping up efforts to deepen bank listings on the capital market, as it seeks to strengthen governance, improve transparency and channel growing domestic long-term savings into the banking system.

At the inauguration of the Steering and Technical Committees for the Bank Listing Project, Governor Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama said the initiative reflects structural changes already underway in Ghana’s financial system rather than a narrow regulatory exercise.

He pointed to improving macroeconomic stability, rising confidence and the rapid growth of domestic investible capital as key drivers behind the push.

Pension fund assets now exceed GH¢100 billion, making them one of the largest pools of long-term capital in the economy. The central bank believes this capital can play a more deliberate role in bank ownership through equity listings, reducing reliance on concentrated or foreign-controlled shareholding structures.
