Dr. Adu Anane Antwi has been named Chairman of the newly reconstituted SEC Governing Board.

Dr Antwi is the former Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The appointment was formalised during an inauguration ceremony presided over by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on May 19.

Addressing the new board, Dr. Forson explained that the Commission is critical to maintaining stability within the country's financial sector, particularly in light of recent economic difficulties.

He expressed confidence in the board’s ability to uphold regulatory standards and foster investor trust.

“I am exceedingly pleased to see this board come to life. Ghana has endured significant economic stress in recent years, and our people are rightly concerned.

He explained that "as the regulator of our capital market, the SEC bears a critical responsibility to restore confidence, integrity, and dignity in the sector.”

For him, accountability and robust regulation must be prioritised.

He further insisted that Ghanaians must no longer suffer the consequences of systemic regulatory failures.

“The taxpayer cannot continue to be used as a punching bag. The public must no longer bear the burden of regulatory failures. This new board must act with focus and integrity to protect investors, promote transparency, and uphold accountability across our financial markets."
