The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama, has inaugurated a Steering Committee to oversee the development of a framework for listing some commercial banks on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).

The inauguration took place on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at the Central Bank, marking a significant step toward broadening local participation in the ownership of key financial institutions operating in the country.

The proposed listing, if successfully implemented, will enable Ghanaians to acquire shares in selected commercial banks, giving them a stake in critical institutions within the economy.

The initiative aligns with President John Dramani Mahama’s policy objective of promoting greater Ghanaian ownership of the national economy and deepening local participation in strategic sectors.

The Steering Committee will be chaired by Dr Asiamah in his capacity as Governor of the Bank of Ghana, with oversight from the Minister of Finance.

Other members of the Committee are Dr Zakariah Mumuni, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana; Matilda Asante Asiedu, Second Deputy Governor; Mensah Thompson, Deputy Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Abena Amoah, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Stock Exchange; Chris Boadi, Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA); Dr Zakariah Abiba, Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NIC); and Louis K. Amo, Director of the Financial Sector Division at the Ministry of Finance.

The Committee is expected to develop the necessary regulatory and operational framework to guide the listing process and ensure transparency, investor protection, and market stability.
