The official inauguration took place on Monday, May 19, with the ceremony led by the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
During the inauguration, Dr. Forson highlighted the crucial role the SEC plays in stabilizing Ghana’s financial landscape, particularly in light of the economic challenges the country has faced in recent years. He expressed his satisfaction having the new board in place, emphasizing the importance of restoring public confidence in the capital market.
“I am exceedingly pleased to see this board come to life. Ghana has endured significant economic stress in recent years, and our people are rightly concerned,” said Dr. Forson. “As the regulator of our capital market, the SEC bears a critical responsibility to restore confidence, integrity, and dignity in the sector.”
Highlighting the importance of accountability and robust regulation, Dr. Forson noted that the Ghanaian taxpayer should no longer bear the consequences of systemic regulatory failures. “The taxpayer cannot continue to be used as a punching bag. The public must no longer bear the burden of regulatory failures,” he urged. He called on the new board to act with focus and integrity to protect investors, promote transparency, and ensure accountability in the financial markets.
Congratulating Dr. Adu Anane Antwi and the other board members, Dr. Forson expressed confidence in their ability to lead necessary reforms and inject new life into the capital market. “I have every confidence that, under your leadership and working with the astute Dr. James Klutse Avedzi, we will build a renewed, resilient, and investor-friendly capital market,” he noted.
