MTN Group President and
Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita has paid a courtesy call on Bank of Ghana
Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama during a visit to Ghana, reaffirming the
telecommunications group’s commitment to financial inclusion and the development
of the country’s financial sector.
The CEO of Mobile Money
Fintech Limited, Shaibu Haruna who was present at the meeting said the
engagement provided an opportunity to reaffirm MTN’s commitment to working closely
with the Bank of Ghana to advance financial inclusion and financial health for
millions of Ghanaians.
The discussions also focused
on MTN’s commitment to partnering with the central bank as it implements key
reforms across the financial ecosystem to help build a more inclusive,
resilient and innovative financial system.
A key area of focus was
expanding access to finance for micro and small enterprises, which Haruna

resilience and participate more fully in the formal economy,” he said.
