Bank of Ghana partners with Bank of England for Pan-African Governors' forum

The Bank of Ghana, in partnership with the Bank of England and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), will host a two-day High-Level Pan-African Central Bank Governors’ Conference in Accra from 10–11 November 2025.

The conference will be held under the theme: “Central Bank Governance: Leadership, Credibility, and Resilience in African Central Banking.” This event is part of the long-standing Bank of Ghana–Bank of England Technical Cooperation Programme.

Since 2018, the Bank of England Technical Cooperation Programme has supported 21 African central banks in strengthening macroeconomic modelling, financial stability, climate-risk supervision, and institutional governance.

The Pan-African Central Bank Governors’ Conference provides a unique platform for current and former African governors and deputy governors to engage in candid, off-the-record discussions on how central banks can preserve credibility, independence, and resilience in a rapidly changing global environment.

The conference has been deliberately designed to encourage honest reflection and peer learning rather than formal presentations. Participation is therefore limited to invited central bank leaders, senior officials from the Bank of England, FCDO, IMF, AFI, and other experts.

Discussions from the conference are expected to inform future leadership development and capacity-building programs for African central banks.

A communiqué summarising the conference’s key insights and outcomes will be issued after the event.
