Final list banks that met Bank of Ghana's GHC400m recapitalization deadline
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) is expected to announce the list of banks that have successfully raised their minimum capitals to GH₵400 million in compliance with its earlier directive, which elapsed on December 31, 2018.
Apart fron the list, Graphic.com gh has reported that reliable information available to them suggests the BoG will be making key decisions on two of the banks, using provisions set out in Sections 103 to 137 of the Banks and Specialised Deposits Taking Institutions Act 2016 (Act 930).
Both banks are unable to recapitalise, with one having a capital deficit in excess of GH₵800 million.

One bank is expected to be downgraded to a savings and loans company for being unable to meet the minimum paid-up capital as of the December 31, 2018 deadline
BoG will announce that it has accepted a government-backed arrangement by private investors to raise up to GH₵2 billion through bonds to invest in six indigenous banks to enable them to meet the minimum capital.
The first tranche of the bond could be around GH₵800 million and will be used to recapitalise well-governed, solvent but undercapitalised banks.
The transaction is being executed by a special purpose vehicle, the Ghana Amalgamated Trust (GAT) Limited.
