- Bank of Ghana to roll out a National Remittance Strategy
- Remittance Roadshow planned to deepen diaspora engagement
- Initiative aims to convert remittances into long-term investments
The Bank of Ghana is set to introduce a National Remittance Strategy together with a Remittance Roadshow as part of efforts to boost foreign exchange inflows and channel diaspora remittances into sustainable, long-term investments.
The initiatives, which will be developed in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, come amid growing strain on global capital flows and the need to further deepen Ghana’s financial markets.
Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, announced the plans at the London–Accra Economic Growth Summit held at Bank Square in Accra on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
“Within the year, we will roll out targeted measures, including a National Remittance Strategy developed closely with the Ministry of Finance, as well as a Remittance Roadshow aimed at fostering inclusive, continent-wide engagement with our diaspora,” Dr. Asiama said.
He underscored the increasing significance of the diaspora in a volatile global economic climate, describing it as both a stabilising pillar and a catalyst for Ghana’s economic growth.
Dr. Asiama added that strengthening the London–Accra corridor would create opportunities for the British-Ghanaian diaspora to translate ideas, innovation, and capital into shared prosperity, while enhancing economic resilience in both Ghana and the United Kingdom.
