Despite these efforts, the funding gap still persists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added \u201cIt is on this background that we are excited to be part of today\u2019s landmark event, which is yet another bold initiative between the Bank of Ghana and two critical institutions in our country, the Development Bank Ghana (DBG) and the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) to formally commission this study on Innovative Financing for MSMEs in Ghana\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expectation is that this study will promote understanding of and also provide anecdotal evidence on the financing challenges that MSMEs face in Ghana, the funding gap that currently exists and also recommend new and innovative ways of closing this funding gap. At the end of the day, this study will provide us with a reliable document which will inform policy that will encourage innovation in financing for this critical mass of our economy, the Micro, Medium and Small Enterprises (MSMEs), and by that create employment and spur economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne sure way of delivering on credit to MSMEs is via digitalization. Exploring the powerful reach and potential of digitalization to address all the myriad of challenges that have undermined access to credit by MSMEs\u2014especially the lack of collateral. Some work is already being done on this, and again in collaboration with DBG and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to explore the use of Universal Trusted Credentials (UTC) to establish willingness to pay and facilitate credit delivery to MSMEs. So far, the results from the sandbox is extremely encouraging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is for this reason that I am extremely excited that one of the key objectives of this Project is to explore which fintech innovations work and how they can be scaled up to ensure the growth of MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy excitement stems from the fact that innovations through Fintech remain top on the<\/p>\n<p>agenda for the Bank of Ghana and that is why a lot has gone into developing the regulatory<\/p>\n<p>framework and providing the conducive environment for innovation by players. Results from this study will inform us, the regulator, on other ways in which Fintechs can be used to channel resources from surplus spending units to deficit-spending units in the economy, especially MSMEs. The Bank of Ghana assures the project team of its commitment to this collaboration with DBG and we believe the success of this collaboration would encourage other collaborations aimed at addressing the challenges that face the financial sector in particular and the economy as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bank of Ghana also commits to observing the MoU in utmost good faith to ensure the<\/p>\n<p>study is successful. The Bank stands ready to support in any other way to ensure the project\u2019s objectives are attained at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: 3News<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
