The government has announced strengthened policies and institutional measures to disrupt illicit financial flows and terror financing, positioning Ghana as a regional leader in safeguarding economic stability and national security.
Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Nyarko Ampem spoke on behalf of Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson at the 2025 FATF/GIABA Joint Experts Meeting in Accra. The three-day event brought together policymakers, security agencies, financial intelligence specialists, and international partners to review compliance frameworks and strengthen regional collaboration.
Officials highlighted that weak border controls, informal cash channels, and emerging digital financial systems have made West Africa particularly vulnerable to money laundering and terror financing, which continue to destabilise the sub-region.
