Lets see how this can help because in Canada "Equifax Credit report"" is the ideal one every lender or organization requests for. Especially for Real estate (e.g. renting a place, buying a car, getting a credit card), even Trans Union credit report is not accepted.

Governor what is the use of this nonsense? Is this a job just cooked for friends or what? Even in Europe when you go from
UK to France your credit history has no relevance. Have finished solving in the Bank of Ghana, the supervision of banks, beefing up your banking supervision directorate and all the other agencies? How developed is credit rating in Ghana? The penetration in Gh is totally negligible so why don’t you concentrate on that? Busy body for nothing. This is a waste of time and public resources. THINK OF BETTER AND SENSIBLE THINGS TO DO.

Is the "ideal one" or rather the preferred credit rating does not make it impossible for the Government of Ghana to embark on such initiative. And besides such initiative will track your activities in Ghana and not abroad. It's to support your credit rating in abroad. It's kind of mirroring the double taxation concept.

Childish BoG does not know the Big 3 in credit reporting (Equifax, Transunion, and Experian) and settled for an unknown entity called Nova Credit. What a shame!

Before NVIDIA came from no where there was INTEL. And before all the credit rating companies you guys are so obsessed about today, there was one before. You guys are so rigid. The Governor certainly knows better than all of you making noise. Stay with what you are obsessed about and leave Ghanaians to make their choice. Don't allow frustration to want you to comment on anything you see or hear.

This sound funny! Right? Seeking for loan while residing outside the country and using your credit history from your home country is a total joke! As far as you no longer stay in your home country, your economic dynamics change substentially, and I wonder which type credit analyst will rely on your prvious country history to grant you any money. Remember, a performance history of an old horse has nothing to do with the current race ahead of it!

Why do Ghanaians travel aboard?? To be free from your lack of meaningful fiscal policies and indiscipline??

Have you helped the local Ghanaian person or business to access credits?
If i want to do business in Ghana, why do I want to come for an interest rate of 30% when i can get 7% where I am??

What's the name of the credit bureau again?? Another wasted move!!

A lot of you are making a storm out of a tea cup. If you have a preferred credit rating does not make it impossible for the Government of Ghana to embark on such initiative. And besides such initiative will only track your activities in Ghana and not abroad. It's to support your credit rating abroad. It's kind of mirroring the double taxation concept. Guys, stop being rigid. It's a absolutely possible and worthwhile.

This might be a good move. I had a credit score of 800 across the 3 credit rating boards in America by just obeying the rules - buy your stuff and pay as fast as you can without missing payments and stop paying just the minimum payment every month. How difficult is that?. Please let's use our brains

This is funny. 90 percent of Ghanaians living in gh don't have credit cards..there is no credit system in Ghana.this idea makes no sense. This will be used by gh banks to do fraud and give fake credit history to corrupt Ghanaians who steal public funds to buy property overseas. That's the whole point. If you a foreigner in a new country your credit is as important as your life. Trust me. If you are new you can open a bank account and apply for a local credit card talk to your local bank or credit union. They will recommend some options. Apply for a no fee credit card and use it only when you have thr money to pay for it. Accumulate points and build your credit. In less than 3 yrs you can apply for credit cards worth $10,000. Use that only for emergencies. I have 3 credit cards. One for emergencies. One for dinner, movies and the last one for gas. Make sure you make your payments. When I reach retirement I will destroy my credit ankasa

Help your fellow Ghanians in the country first, this is another way to rob Ghanaians abroad. It doesn't make sense at all to me.
