Ghana: Total financial sector assets value surpass $26.5bn

In the 2022 Financial Stability Review Report, authorized by the Financial Stability Council, Ghana’s financial system demonstrated robust asset growth throughout the year, notwithstanding prevailing macroeconomic challenges.

The report reveals that total financial sector assets surged to GH₵312.69 billion ($26.5bn) by the close of December 2022, marking a substantial increase from the GH₵260.43 billion recorded at the end of 2021.

The notable expansion was primarily propelled by the insurance, banking, and pensions sectors, which exhibited impressive growth rates of 22.3 percent, 21.7 percent, and 19.9 percent, respectively, in 2022. However, the securities sector bucked this trend, with its total assets declining by 2.7 percent year-on-year.

The financial system’s assets as a percentage of GDP experienced a decrease, dropping from 56.4 percent in 2021 to 51.2 percent by the end of 2022. This decrease can largely be attributed to marked-to-market losses in government bond holdings, a consequence of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP). These losses led to relatively lower growth in the overall assets of the financial system during 2022.

The report underscores that the banking sector continued to exert its dominance within the financial system, accounting for a significant 76.5 percent of the total financial system assets by the close of 2022.

The pensions sector also displayed consistent growth, driven primarily by the remarkable expansion of private pension funds. In contrast, the insurance sector’s contribution to the total financial system assets remained relatively stable.

Conversely, the securities sector’s contribution witnessed a decline compared to levels observed in 2017. This decrease can be attributed to the ban on the issuance of guaranteed investment products by fund managers, the sector’s cleanup initiatives, and increased customer redemptions within the securities sector.

The Financial Stability Review represents a collaborative initiative involving key institutions such as the Bank of Ghana, the Ministry of Finance, the National Insurance Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Pensions Regulatory Authority, the Ghana Deposit Protection Corporation, and the Financial Intelligence Center.

The Financial Stability Council (FSC) comprising the Bank of Ghana (BOG), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), National Insurance Commission (NIC), National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA), Ministry of Finance (MOF), and Ghana Deposit Protection Corporation (GDPC), serves as the pivotal body responsible for enhancing and fortifying the stability of Ghana’s financial sector.
