Ghana's financial organization continues in its effort to sanitize the banking sector. Notably, among some obvious sanctions it's allotted has been the obligatory takeover of 2 private-owned banks: Banking concern below the authorization of the Bank of African country in 2017.
alternative activities are allotted by Ghana's financial organization nonetheless, the arena still desires some stability. Currently, Ghana's banking sector is unstable although its prospect appearance sensible within the not too distant future ought to major rules and activities ar allotted by the financial organization.
The sector still nursing it wounds over last year sanctions on the two banks, yet one more bank has intimate the financial organization direct sanctions, thus, Unibank, (It was adjudged the sixth best performing arts company in African country|Gold Coast|African country|African nation} at the Ghana Club one hundred awards in 2017). Currently, the country`s financial organization has declared that as at twentieth, March 2017, it's mandated and licensed the Management of Unibank, ( in camera closely-held bank) be dissolved and brought over by KPMG. Interestingly!
Now, Bank of African country itself desires some house cleansing. it's terribly unacceptable to administer over a sector from that a player is adjudged sixth best just for it to be aforesaid to own been withholding some vital knowledge. The financial organization, however, has its defense for the action against Unibank that the bank has persistently maintained capital adequacy level magnitude relation on the point of zero that pleasantly may much mean Unibank is insolvent.
Reports from the financial organization declared that it directed Unibank to abstain from granting any extra new loans to customers, however, the Bank didn't adjust to the directive and continuing granting new loans. Also, Unibank was directed to abstain from acquisition any extra capital expenditures that they (Unibank) did not adhere to thereby, breaching section a hundred and five of Act 930.
Admittedly, Unibank has been a clever bank if one ought to observe their banking activities over the years from a distance, as such, the financial organization and KPMG guide to the bank ought to be one that may not dissolve their positive employee-customer culture that is instantly seen to be "vibrating" among their customers and bank. Unibank has some terribly loyal customers, with giant numbers being traders. Bank of Ghana, therefore, ought to guide Unibank, taking into thought the whole that exists and finding the apparent ways that to revive the bank.
Having aforesaid this, the quantity of Universal banks is far too several for African country. the quantity ought to be capped as having on the point of forty banks for a population of twenty six million is clearly abundant. What has to be done is to create the capability of existing banks to "branch out" to customers. this will be worn out 2 ways: increasing physical infrastructure to reaching nearer to customers and increasing digital (Online/Mobile banking) infrastructure. Already existing banks ought to be keen on up their service expertise, obtaining nearer to individuals, increasing digital means that of banking and up on banking security.
Making it clear, however, i'm not in any manner against the registration of banks, In fact, my position is that the direct opposite as i'm not oblivious of the importance of economic services to people and also the economy as an entire. My position can pass for the alternative. My views clearly ar that rather than registering new banks that with a number of them operates many branches with no superior services or infrastructures, it might be higher to resource existing banks to boost their capabilities.
Finally, a number of these monetary establishments can ought to think about merging ought to there be any risk of staying profitable in business and serving customers at standards because the sector begins to become a lot of competitive within the returning years and additionally particularly currently that the minimum capital demand has been inflated by the financial organization to four hundred million African country Cedis for banks, which is able to become from Gregorian calendar month 2018.
