A list of 31 banks operating in Ghana that are in good standing has been released by the Bank of Ghana (BoG).

The central bank believes the list of banks in good standing would help restore customers’ confidence in the banking and financial sector.

The Bank of Ghana in August this year announced it is creating the Consolidated Bank Gh. Ltd to take over five struggling banks in the country.

The bank was created to take over the liabilities and assets of the five collapsed indigenous banks namely uniBank, Royal Bank, Beige, Sovereign and Construction Bank.

Before that, the central bank had collapsed UT Bank and Capital Bank for being illiquid and deficient in capital.

Government made 450m cedis available for the Consolidated Bank as starting capital and has named Daniel Addo as its CEO.
