The Financial Stability Advisory Council (FSC) has held its maiden meeting months after President Akufo Addo formally inaugurated it.
The Council was formally inaugurated on 12th February 2019.
The Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to set out the operational details relating to its work.
“Members took note of presentations made by the Technical Committee of the FSC on an overview of Ghana’s sector, the level of interconnectedness in the financial sector and the need for better coordination of policies across regulators,” a statement from the Bank of Ghana has said.
“In addition, they emphasized that the establishment of the FSC was timely since it created a common platform for the various financial sector regulators to work together to ensure the stability of the financial system,” the statement added.
