The President of the Ghana Association of Banks, Kwamina Asomaning, has disclosed that the banking sector in the country is eager to build a strong and productive relationship with the newly appointed Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiamah.

He disclosed that it is important for financial institutions to establish a strong relationship with the central bank, as banks play a critical role in driving the country’s economic growth

Speaking on PM Express Business Edition on Joy News, Mr. Asomaning extended his congratulations to Dr. Asiamah, highlighting his previous experience as a Deputy Governor and the significance of his appointment.

He further disclosed that Dr. Asiamah’s promotion from within the central bank is a positive sign, inspiring professionals in the financial sector to aspire to leadership positions.

“Well, first of all, we’d like to congratulate him again. We’ve congratulated him in person. I think it’s only proper that we congratulate him again and wish him a very successful tenure.

“He served as one of the Deputy Governors and so it’s quite exciting to see that the central bank has gone for one of its own to rise through the ranks. We feel that the signaling to financial services industry, the signaling to his colleagues at the central bank is a positive one that encourages people to aspire for that high office.” He said.

Mr. Asomaning also stated that banks look forward to building a strong and productive relationship with the new Governor to ensure that financial institutions remain robust and capable of driving economic activity.

We look forward to fostering a strong relationship with the Governor to ensure that we can effectively fulfill our mandate,” he said
