Ghana's banking sector has demonstrated a significant recovery following the economic crisis, with all 23 banks now meeting the required capital thresholds. Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama of the Bank of Ghana announced this milestone at the 43rd Annual General Meeting of the Ghana Association of Banks, crediting various stakeholders for the improvement.
The banking assets have grown by 20.47% year-on-year to reach GH¢500.20 billion as of August 2026, up from GH¢415.20 billion.
