The Bank of Ghana (BOG) has no Eastern Regional headoffice. The BOG must ask for land from the King of Akyem (Okyehene) to construct this building. I don´t believe that the BOG has accurate data of the economic activity in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half the population on the region. The GDP and GNI of these Akyem districts are very high. They stem from:
Gold mining
Diamond mining
Cocoa
Oil Palm (the largest in West Africa)
Timber
Software development
etc
The money supply and capital in the at least 12 Akyem districts are wholly inadequate. BOG must remove impediments to the setting up of rural banks in these districts and encourage ADB and GCB to open branches in these districts.
The government must further ensure that wholly owned Ghanaian banks, including rural banks, get at least 80% of the banking revenue.

Ghana is not an island so why can't we compare our problem to the rest of West Africa?If you look at the Francophone countries whose economy is tied to Franc CFA you can see they hardly talk of currency depriciation.Their money is always stable even though we are producing more than them.I would like to know the reason,somebody help me.Thank you.

Well, if a currency has a fixed exchange rate relative to the franc, then by definition the rate does not vary relative to the franc.
This could potentially create pressures elsewhere in the economy eg with inflation.
