Bank of Ghana deadline unsettles microfinance companies
Monday, October 6, 2014

The regulator last year reviewed upward the minimum capital requirements for deposits and non-deposits — taking microfinance institutions to GH¢300,000 and GH¢500,000 respectively and giving existing companies that fall short of the capital up to June 30, 2016 to comply.
