The chief executive of Development Bank Ghana says the country's information and communications technology sector can only reach its full potential if the right financing is put in place, according to allAfrica.com. The call for new funding models to support the next stage of Ghana's digital transformation was reported on Friday, 11 September 2026.
Coverage of the remarks was carried by several outlets, including TechAfrica News, Tech Review Africa and the Ghanaian Times. The reports frame the issue as a financing gap rather than a technology one, with the bank's leadership arguing that existing funding structures are not sufficient to drive the sector forward.
The same publisher also reported separately that Development Bank Ghana has presented five textile projects for financing, indicating the institution is active across multiple industries. The ICT comments sit alongside that broader role, in which the bank identifies projects and seeks capital to back them.
The reporting does not include specific figures, timelines or named funding instruments tied to the ICT proposal. What is clear from the coverage is that the bank sees access to capital as the deciding factor in whether Ghana's technology ambitions translate into results.
Ghana's push for technology-focused financing reflects a wider question facing developing economies: how to fund digital infrastructure and skills when traditional lending models may not fit the sector's needs.
Watch for details on which financing mechanisms Development Bank Ghana proposes for ICT, and whether those plans move from public statements into funded programmes.
