BoG broadens scope of eligible collaterals for financial exposure computation by FIs

The Central Bank has issued a new directive that seeks to provide guidance and outline eligible instruments that maybe be held as “deductible” collateral in the computation of financial institutions’ financial exposure to borrowers.

According to the Bank of Ghana, under Section 156 of Act 930, financial exposure in relation to a bank, SDI, or Financial Holding Company (FHC) with respect to a person is the aggregate of:

Collateral in the lender-borrower relationship serves as a mechanism for mitigating the lender’s exposure to credit risk arising from information asymmetry that exists between the lender (creditor) and the borrower (also referred to as the obligor) by securely binding the obligor to agreed repayment terms and schedules.

The availability of collateral also conveys a positive signal to creditors, helping to alleviate problems that may arise from adverse selection and issues of moral hazard inherent in lending
