LIVESTREAMED: Tune in to the 3rd Edition of the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting

Today marks the third edition of the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting, taking place at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. 

The event will gather experts to explore the significant role of remittances in Ghana's economy. Under the theme "The Remittance Ecosystem Impact on the Economy," the discussion will focus on identifying practical solutions to harness the potential of remittances for economic growth.

One of the key speakers, Mr. Yaw Appiah Lartey, Partner and Africa Leader for Infrastructure & Capital Projects (I&CP) and Economic Advisory at Deloitte Africa Financial Advisory in Deloitte Ghana, will delve into the impact of remittances on the economy. His presentation will cover how regulations have shaped the remittance landscape and what steps can be taken to enhance the sector's effectiveness.

Mr. Appiah Lartey will also assess Ghana's infrastructure readiness and the systems in place to support the remittance sector. While remittances have been a crucial source of foreign exchange, lifting many Ghanaians out of poverty and driving economic growth, challenges remain. These include the transfer of funds through unregulated channels, leading to risks such as money laundering and fraud. Additionally, exchange rate volatility and over-reliance on remittances have exposed the country to economic vulnerabilities.

The breakfast meeting aims to address these challenges and propose lasting solutions to maximize the positive impact of remittances on Ghana's economy.
