Innovation is a crucial driver of economic development in Ghana, and over the past few years, adopting disruptive technologies has accelerated rapidly. The country continues to be a digital leader in Africa, and according to the Global Innovation Index (GII), it ranks 5th in Sub–Saharan Africa.
In Ghana’s financial sector, there have been recent government and private sector initiatives such as The Cash Lite Roadmap and The Digital Financial Services Policy that aim to adopt new technologies providing financial access to millions who have previously lacked access.
