Ghana

The Republic of Ghana is the fifth largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Its digital economy is growing steadily. The digitalisation of the financial sector in particular sets the West African country apart. Ghana's mobile money market is growing rapidly, the pilot project of a central bank digital currency represents one of the first in Africa and digital infrastructure such as Ghana’s Instant and Interoperable Payment System contributes to the goal of becoming an information- and technology-driven economy. The Ghanaian government fosters this development through strategies that promote small and medium enterprises and start-ups.
