Ghana’s Financial Stability Council (FSC) has wrapped up its final high-level meeting for 2025, reflecting on the year’s progress and laying the groundwork for the year ahead.
The session, which marked the Council’s 25th gathering, focused on reinforcing the resilience of the country’s financial system amid evolving domestic and global challenges.
Council members discussed ways to encourage banks to list on the Ghana Stock Exchange, a move aimed at boosting transparency, investor confidence, and market discipline.
Strengthening consumer protection and promoting fair competition in the financial sector were also highlighted as essential steps to ensure stability and safeguard the interests of everyday Ghanaians.
The FSC finalised plans for supervising financial conglomerates and formalised an agreement with the Ghana Statistical Service to begin collecting real estate market data in 2026. The initiative is expected to provide a clearer picture of market trends, pricing, and potential sectoral risks.
Officials also addressed the implementation of the recently passed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) law, emphasizing the development of a risk-monitoring framework to navigate the emerging digital asset landscape.
Preparations for Ghana’s upcoming Financial Action Task Force (FATF) mutual evaluation were similarly underscored as critical to maintaining the country’s credibility in the global financial system.
The Council stressed that proactive risk management, regulatory collaboration, and market development would remain central to its mission of promoting stability and resilience across Ghana’s financial sector as it moves into 2026.
