The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has put forward a new regulatory measure aimed at strengthening the financial sector and ensuring banks in Ghana can consistently meet customer demands. The proposed Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Directive, 2026, mandates that banks maintain enough high-quality liquid assets to cover projected net cash outflows during a 30-day period of financial difficulty. This exposure draft, recently released by the central bank, seeks to bolster the resilience of Ghanaian banks against potential economic shocks. The directive aims to proactively address liquidity risks and safeguard the stability of the country’s financial system. By requiring banks to hold adequate liquid assets, the BoG intends to minimize the likelihood of bank runs or disruptions in financial service availability. This move underscores the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to a robust and reliable banking sector in Ghana.
