Ghana’s rural and community banking sector recorded strong balance sheet growth in the year to March 2026, with total assets rising by 24.84% to GH¢25.31 billion, supported by increased deposits, stronger shareholders’ funds and a sharp expansion in loans and advances.
Data from the Bank of Ghana’s consolidated assets and liabilities of rural and community banks showed that total assets increased from GH¢20.27 billion in March 2025 to GH¢25.31 billion in March 2026.
This represents an increase of GH¢5.04 billion over the 12-month period, underscoring the continued importance of rural and community banks in financial intermediation, especially in areas underserved by universal banks.
