By Best News Ghana / June 12, 2025

The Bank of Ghana has commemorated the 15th anniversary of its Collateral Registry, celebrating a decade and a half of promoting financial inclusion and transforming secured lending in the country.

Launched in 2010, the Collateral Registry was established to facilitate the use of movable and immovable assets as collateral for loans. Since its inception, it has played a pivotal role in empowering banks, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and individuals to access finance more efficiently and transparently.

Speaking at the event held in Accra, officials from the Bank of Ghana hailed the Registry's contribution to improving credit infrastructure and deepening financial access. “The Collateral Registry has revolutionised secured lending in Ghana,” a Bank of Ghana representative noted. “It has enabled financial institutions to lend with greater confidence, unlocking capital for businesses and individuals who were previously underserved.”

The event brought together key stakeholders, including financial institutions, development partners, and representatives from the private sector, who all praised the Registry’s impact on Ghana’s credit environment.

A statement from the Bank expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Registry’s dedicated team, institutional partners, and clients: “We say a big THANK YOU to all who have been part of this journey. Your support and commitment have driven the success of the Collateral Registry over the past 15 years.”

The celebration was marked under the theme #15YearsStrong, reinforcing the commitment to sustaining access to finance and promoting inclusive economic growth through effective credit risk management.

The Collateral Registry continues to be a critical pillar in Ghana’s financial ecosystem, aligning with global best practices and supporting the Bank of Ghana’s broader financial sector development agenda.
