During the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on July 24, 2025, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson announced that over 900 direct jobs at the National Investment Bank (NIB) have been preserved through strategic interventions. He highlighted that the bank, now “prime for business,” has regained liquidity and operational strength.
“NIB is now liquid and fully active,” Dr. Forson stated, emphasizing its renewed capacity to support Ghana’s industrial and commercial sectors. The reforms follow years of financial challenges, with recent restructuring and recapitalization efforts strengthening the bank’s position.
Dr. Forson stressed the importance of these efforts in protecting livelihoods and restoring confidence in state-owned enterprises. He urged continued support to ensure NIB’s sustainability and its role in driving economic growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and industrial development.
