Bank of Ghana Governor Johnson Pandit Asiama, speaking at the Africa Pension Supervisors Association annual conference, called for pension-sector risks to be incorporated into system-wide financial stability oversight. He identified macroeconomic conditions, cross-market interconnectedness, and operational resilience and confidence as the main channels through which pension systems can affect the wider financial system. Ghana’s pension assets grew 26.3% in 2025 to GHS 108.88 billion, representing 16.8% of financial-sector assets, while private pension funds maintained material exposures to sovereign, banking and equity markets. Asiama emphasized coordinated surveillance through Ghana’s Financial Stability Council, supported by timely and comparable data, modern supervisory technology and closer information sharing. He also highlighted cyber resilience, business continuity and data integrity as core pension-security issues as administration and record-keeping become increasingly digital.
