BoG champions financial literacy for economic growth

The First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Zakaria Mumuni, has underscored the importance of deepening financial literacy across all sectors of the economy to promote financial inclusion and stability.

Speaking at the launch of a new book titled ‘Digital Financial Literacy’, authored by financial inclusion advocate Korsi Dzokoto, Dr. Mumuni said: “Financial literacy is not just a personal asset; it is a national necessity. Deepening it across all sectors will drive inclusion and enhance the stability of our economy.”

He stressed that improving financial knowledge will empower individuals and businesses to make better decisions in today’s evolving financial environment.

Author of the book, Korsi Dzokoto, explained that the publication seeks to bridge knowledge gaps in the digital finance space and ensure more Ghanaians are included in the country’s financial system.

“This book is meant to equip Ghanaians with the right knowledge and skills to navigate today’s fast-changing financial landscape and ensure that no one is left behind,” he said.

The Bank of Ghana has pledged continued support for initiatives that advance financial education, which it believes is key to building a stronger, more inclusive economy.
