Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has announced that the government has recapitalised the National Investment Bank (NIB) and will provide GH¢1billion to recapitalise the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) and the Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) before the end of 2025.
Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, Dr. Forson said the move is aimed at strengthening the financial capacity of key state-owned banks to support credit delivery, especially in priority sectors such as agriculture, industry, and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
He added that the recapitalisation will enable the banks to expand lending, enhance financial stability, and support economic growth, particularly in areas aligned with the government’s development agenda.
According to him, this initiative demonstrates our commitment to a robust banking sector that can drive investment, provide affordable credit, and facilitate development across Ghana.
“We have recapitalised the National Investment Bank and will recapitalise the ADB and CBG with GH¢1 billion before end-2025,” Dr. Forson stated.
