The Bank of Ghana published welcome remarks by First Deputy Governor Dr. Zakari Mumuni at a breakfast meeting with chief executive officers of licensed financial technology institutions, framing the gathering as a practical forum for dialogue on where Ghana’s digital finance ecosystem is headed and how it can function better. In the remarks, fintechs and mobile money platforms were described as central to financial activity for households and businesses, alongside a warning that progress remains uneven because many users still do not benefit fully from credit, savings, insurance, and other value-adding products. The Bank positioned its role as creating the right environment for innovation by supporting shared digital infrastructure, strengthening digital identity systems, and maintaining a regulatory framework that encourages responsible experimentation without compromising trust or stability.
