Minister of Finance, Dr Ato Forson with the 11-member SEC Board
The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has inaugurated the Governing Board of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
He noted that Ghana has experienced significant economic stress in recent years, and the concerns of the public are valid.
“As the regulator of our capital market, the SEC bears a critical responsibility to restore confidence, integrity, and dignity in the sector,” he stated.
Dr Forson emphasised the need for accountability, saying, “The taxpayer cannot continue to be used as a punching bag. The public must no longer bear the burden of regulatory failures. This new board must act with focus and integrity to protect investors, promote transparency, and uphold accountability across our financial markets.”
He congratulated the board and its chairman, and urged them to demonstrate the highest level of responsibility in carrying out their duties.
“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 added.
