These forces usher Ghana’s financial landscape into uncharted territories with opportunities and complex challenges for industry to navigate.” He added.
The ACI Ghana Financial Markets Conference will also seek to promote ethical excellence of professionals and explore ways to drive inclusivity and equitable access to financial services.
