The Bank of Ghana has reiterated its commitment to supporting digital transformation and the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across key sectors of the economy.

Speaking on behalf of the Governor at the launch of BlueNODE AI Cloud by BlueSPACE Ghana, Owuraku Asare, Deputy Director at the Fintech and Innovation Office, said the central bank is fully aligned with innovative technology that strengthens financial services and economic development.

“We are committed to supporting the digital innovation landscape and encouraging the use of artificial intelligence to transform financial services, trade, and public service delivery,” Mr. Asare said. “The Bank of Ghana will continue collaborating with all stakeholders to shape and sustain such groundbreaking initiatives.”

Kwame Plah, Revenue Operations Lead for BlueSPACE Financial Cloud, highlighted the platform’s direct value to financial institutions, saying, “BlueNODE AI Cloud is a game changer for the financial sector. It enables faster, smarter decision-making, secure data management, and reliable infrastructure tailored specifically to our continent’s needs. This is how we unlock true digital transformation in banking and finance.”

The international community also expressed interest in the innovation. Juliette Bynoe-Sutherland, High Commissioner of Barbados to Ghana, noted that Barbados is exploring new avenues of cooperation with Ghana, particularly in AI and cloud-based technologies.

Adrian Hedges, Regional Sales Director at Nexsan, emphasized the critical role of infrastructure in scaling AI adoption in Africa.

“To accelerate digital growth, we must build strong AI infrastructure that is secure, scalable, and accessible across the continent.”
