BoG considering extending recapitalisation deadline for one struggling bank
Bank of Ghana (BoG) is considering extending the recapitalisation deadline for one struggling bank. Governor Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama disclosed that the central bank is taking a measured approach based on the progress made by the affected institutions. He said, "Out of the two banks, one is making significant progress towards meeting the recapitalisation requirements, and we may consider giving that institution some extension."
Dr. Asiama indicated that there are two banks currently struggling to meet the minimum capital requirements. The move is aimed at supporting viable institutions while maintaining the integrity of the financial system. The Governor noted that the second bank is also making efforts but may require more time and closer regulatory engagement.
Dr. Asiama reiterated that any decision to extend the deadline will be carefully assessed and will not compromise the central bank's regulatory standards. He emphasized that "Any extension granted will be based on clear evidence of progress and commitment to meeting the requirements." The recapitalisation exercise forms part of broader reforms by the Bank of Ghana to strengthen the banking sector, improve resilience, and safeguard depositors' funds.
