The Bank of Ghana is preparing to roll out a National Remittance Strategy, alongside a Remittance Roadshow, as it steps up efforts to strengthen foreign exchange inflows and turn diaspora transfers into long-term investment capital.
The initiatives, to be developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, come at a time of heightened pressure on global capital flows and the need to deepen Ghana’s financial markets.
Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, announced the interventions at the London–Accra Economic Growth Summit at the Bank Square in Accra on Tuesday, 6th January, 2026.
“Over the course of this year, we will be rolling out targeted interventions, including the development of a National Remittance Strategy in close collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, as well as a Remittance Roadshow to advance inclusive, continent-wide engagement with our diasporans,” the Governor said.
Dr Asiama also stressed the growing importance of the diaspora in an increasingly uncertain global economic environment, describing it as both a stabilising and catalytic force for Ghana’s economy.
He noted that strengthening the London–Accra corridor, in particular, would enable the British Ghanaian diaspora to convert ideas, innovation, and capital into shared prosperity, while reinforcing economic resilience in both Ghana and the United Kingdom.
