आंकड़ों में
The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, announced plans to prepare a legislative framework for the establishment of urban community banks across the country in order to deepen financial inclusion. With this initiative, it is aimed to transfer the community banking model, which currently operates in rural areas, to the cities as well.
Governor Asiama stated that the vision of the rural banking model, which was originally established to support segments inadequately served by commercial banks, is still valid today. However, he emphasized that despite being physically close to a bank branch, many people living in cities struggle to access financial services due to high transaction fees and strict document requirements.
It was stated that the new urban banks will not compete directly with large commercial banks, but instead will aim to close the service gap at the neighborhood level. There are currently more than 140 rural and community banks in Ghana, serving particularly the agriculture and micro-enterprise sectors.
