Financial institutions in Ghana must work together more closely to mobilise capital, rebuild trust and steady the economy, Ecobank Ghana’s head of marketing and brand, Regina Ofori, has said.
Speaking at The Money Summit 2026 in Accra, organised by the Business and Financial Times in partnership with Ecobank, Ofori said sustainable growth depends on tighter coordination across banking, pensions, insurance, capital markets and regulators.
She argued that piecemeal efforts hold the economy back, while a joined-up system is better able to absorb shocks, draw investment and speed recovery. “Fragmentation weakens outcomes. Coordination strengthens them,” she said, describing the summit as a platform for alignment rather than just another industry gathering.
Ofori singled out long-term capital mobilisation as a major opportunity, pointing to the large pools of money held by pension funds and insurers. The question, she said, is not whether the capital exists but how effectively it is unlocked and deployed for infrastructure and long-term financing.
She added that Ecobank supports companies, public institutions and development partners through financing, trade facilitation and advisory services, and pressed for stronger institutions, sound regulation, digital innovation and regional integration to build a more resilient financial system.
