Togbe Afede, please with all due respect u are a great king and a leader in Ghana..already we have too many foreign banks in Ghana..can we limit the number of foreigners banks in Ghana..one of the reason why our country is not progressing is because of too many foreign banks in the system..Instead of Akuffo Addo collapsing the indigenous Ghanaian banks, he should have rather focus on the foreign banks because most of these banks makes their money in Ghana and transfer the profits to their country..please don’t lead this as it’s not beneficial to the interest of Ghana..let’s build more Ghanaian owned banks.tge way we have allowed China into our Ghanaian markets is very dangerous..if I had power, most of these foreign banks will even be converge to Ghanaian owned banks..we don’t build a country like that..any country that allows foreigners to be controlling its money(banking system) cannot fully develop

Every time Chinese are mentioned Ghanaians start making noise. You collapse indigenous banks and complain about foreign ones.

Some businessmen are selfish, wicked and full of envy. All they do is to attack political parties with majority of supporters from a tribe they hate and then keep quiet when NDC is in power. They employ their tribesmen and also get all the opportunities to bring in businesses for their own benefit. All of a sudden they keep quiet and don’t criticize anymore. They now, as chiefs become business facilitators for NDC. HMMMM

Is the word Chinese the issue? Okay! Commentators provide us with a wholly owned Ghanaian Bank without any foreign shareholders! Friends we live in a global.economic market and if l can borrow money to expand my business in Ghana at the Bank of Mongolia and be charged 3% interest why should l pay 33% interest at a wholly 100% local bank at Nkawie!

Well Done Togbe Afede X1V, this will create a competitive environment in the money market.

We have a problem ooo bro. SG parted ways with SSB just months ago, Barclays was here for years and ABSA took over. So many Nigerian banks and we don't have a problem. We cross border to take Chinese loans without a problem but having the bank here in the country is all of a sudden a problem. I am sure the existing banks will push against it because of the competitive interest rates the Chinese bank will offer. Mark my words.

The answer is no because you have corrupt leaders and docile citizens who don't know the value of protecting a country. You keep voting for incompetent leaders in the name of NDC and NPP.

Folks, China bank entering Ghanaian financial markets would kill the USA dollar. This is because, the Importers would use China currency in their businesses.

Ghana, businesses between ghana and china would be cheep and faster. Charges on international transactions would be less.

Asogli power plant was brought and together with NDC government Energy ministry in 2014, they heavily inflated IPP electricity rates and also billed them in US dollars! Those IPP contracts have now been RENEGOTIATED resulting in 300 millions US dollars annually! Why was Asogli power plant and other PPPs not treated like the Ameri power plant? I mean let VRA take over ownership of those overbloated contracts in US dollar and generate power in cedis for Ghanaians!

There’s laws in china not in Ghana! U invite China Back to Ghana in what way you? Your low level government and education in the entire country Ghana will found out later. The Chinese are very crooks they will take over the country one day by storm. Mark this somewhere in your house. What kind of country is so called Ghana. Poor judgement among Ghanian leaders, do you think about future of our children and the country Ghana? No you all think about today not tomorrow. Very low level education in Ghana to steal money corrupt lies greedy politicians and corruption in the entire country Ghana. They are planning to steal GOLD from the country and the bank will do just that. If you have STUPID leadership in a country intruders come in and steal Ghana leaders.
