Strategic Payments Roadmap for Ghana

This report serves to define a roadmap up to 2019 and beyond which would enable Ghana’s twin and related objectives of greater financial inclusion and a significant shift from cash payments to electronic/digital payments, to be achieved within a ‘cash-lite’ economy. The source of the data in this report has been from primary research through several stakeholder workshops, questionnaires and interviews and input from GhIPSS/Bank of Ghana, and secondary research through available sources to determine peer country practice and general best practices deployed. The peer countries used were Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania.
