Here are all the governors of the Bank of Ghana since 1957

On March 4, 1957, just two days before the declaration of political independence, the Bank of Ghana was formally established by the Bank of Ghana Ordinance (No. 34) of 1957, passed by the British Parliament.

Frantic preparations then began to put in place an organisational structure for the new central bank. By the middle of July 1957, all was set for the official commissioning of the new Head Office of the Bank on the High Street.

The general administration of the Bank was entrusted to the hands of a seven-member board of directors under the Chairmanship of the Governor.

The formal banking operations were on August 1, 1957, when the Banking Department opened for business. The Issue Department did not commence operations until July 1958.

The Governor and deputies of the Bank of Ghana were appointed by the Governor of the Gold Coast on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, in accordance with Section 10(1) of the 1957 Ordinance.

The current law under which the Bank operates is the Bank of Ghana Act, 2002 (Act 612).

Over the years, Governors and deputies are appointed to head the institution.
