It was for his years of service in monetary policy formulation, banking supervision, and financial sector development, as well as his commitment to strengthening professionalism and ethical standards in the banking industry. The honour was bestowed on the Governor at the Governor’s Day Annual Dinner, organised by the CIB Ghana attended by Senior Officials of the Bank, Members of the Institute, and stakeholders from the financial industry. 

Dr Asiama described the recognition as a collective honour that reflected the dedication and sacrifices of many professionals within the financial sector. He said the honour was not a personal achievement but a testament to the efforts of colleagues at the Bank and stakeholders across the banking industry who had worked under challenging conditions to restore confidence and stability to the economy. 

Mr. Robert Dzato, Chief Executive Officer of CIB Ghanana, acknowledged the contributions and collective commitment of stakeholders as critical to advancing professional banking practice in the country. He said the ceremony featured the induction of 57 Senior Banking Executives into the Institute’s Executive Leadership Group under the Chartered Banker framework. 

The evening also saw the presentation of Fellowship Awards, with particular attention to female participation as part of CIB Ghana’s sustainability and inclusion agenda, as well as special recognition for participants in the National Banking and Ethics Challenge and recipients of the Ethics Certification Award. 

Mr. Dzato expressed gratitude to the Governor for strong support to CIB Ghana’s initiatives, including the launch of the Chartered Banker Programme for Branch Chief Executive Officers, the Directed Banker Magazine and engagements around post-Monetary Policy Centre activities.
