| Summary: | This report assesses Ghana s corporate
governance policy framework. It highlights recent
improvements in corporate governance regulation, makes
policy recommendations, and provides investors with a
benchmark against which to measure corporate governance in
Ghana. It is an update of the 2005 Corporate Governance
ROSC. Good corporate governance enhances investor trust,
helps to protects minority shareholders, and can encourage
better decision making and improved relations with workers,
creditors, and other stakeholders. Better investor
protection can lower the cost of capital and encourage
companies to list and raise funds through equity markets.
Investor protection is also crucial to protect retirement
savings as pension funds invest more in listed companies.
Good corporate governance also helps to ensure that these
companies operate more transparently and efficiently. |
