AmCham Ghana’s Financial Services Advisory Committee (FSAC) met this month with strong turnout from banking, insurance, capital markets and professional services members. The main outcome was a commitment to advocacy that is backed by data.

“We are not complainers; we are advocates,” was the message from the Chair. Members agreed that every issue the committee raises with regulators should come with evidence. That means industry data and a clear account of what a policy does to members, so that the Chamber engages policymakers as a credible partner.

The committee emphasized that virtual assets are getting more attention from regulators, and Ghana’s regulatory sandbox for virtual asset service providers is under way. With that in mind, AmCham Ghana will host a webinar on the basics in 2027.

What’s next

• 30 November: meeting with the U.S. Embassy Commercial and Economic Sections
• 26 January 2027: FSAC planning session to set the 2027 advocacy priorities
• 2027: a session on the basics of virtual assets, open to all AmCham members

How members can help

Tell the Secretariat about any bill or regulation that could affect your industry, and share data that supports the issues you raise. Coordinated input lets AmCham speak with a stronger voice, often together with other bilateral chambers.
