The non-performing loan (NPL) ratio, on the other hand, increased to 24.6 percent, reflecting the downgrading of several large exposures to the banks. \u201cNon-performing loans excluding loss category, however, remained in single digits at 9.8 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBanks impacted by the DDEP in 2023 continue to implement their approved capital restoration plans in line with BoG\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bank of Ghana expects that early completion of re-capitalisation efforts will lead to more resilience of the banking sector and position it to provide stronger support for real sector recovery,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samuel Boadi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The Central Bank announced Monday it has decided to adjust the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) for banks.
