The Ghana SEC issues Securities Industry (Financial Resources) Guidelines 2025

All licensed market operators, including broker-dealers, private equity and venture capital funds, credit rating agencies, and primary dealers, need to meet stricter minimum capital thresholds, maintain defined levels of liquid assets, and file detailed monthly and quarterly returns.

Beyond regulatory box-ticking, these reforms have real business impact: operators may need to recapitalise, upgrade internal systems, and plan early to meet phased compliance targets through to December 2026. With increased penalties for non-compliance, is essential to sustaining operations and investor confidence.

Market players should assess exposure, close gaps, and align with the SEC’s push for a more transparent and resilient capital market.
