Speaking at the 14th AFI Leaders’ Roundtable themed “Strengthening Cyber Resilience in Digital Financial Services in Africa,” Mumuni positioned Ghana’s efforts within a broader coalition involving Ghana’s Cyber Security Authority, World Bank, INTERPOL, and the Africa Cybersecurity Resource Centre.

“Critically, we are not acting alone,” Mumuni stated, highlighting coordinated threat response and expertise sharing. He reaffirmed Ghana’s dual focus on cyber resilience and bridging financial access gaps, specifically targeting women-led enterprises in agriculture, trade, and technology through a forthcoming institutional framework.

The Deputy Governor framed cybersecurity as non-negotiable for realizing Africa’s digital finance potential. “The promise of digital finance hinges on trusted, inclusive, and secure systems,” he asserted, commending roundtable discussions for advancing shared solutions. He closed by expressing confidence in Africa’s collective capacity to build a resilient financial future.

The call aligns with Ghana’s domestic initiatives, including its Financial Industry Security Operations Centre (FINSOC), which monitors threats across 40+ institutions. Mumuni’s emphasis on inclusion follows recent revelations that over 40% of Ghanaian financial entities exhibit critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
