CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction The liberalized economic environment has led to the proliferation of banks and their respective activities thereby causing dramatic changes within the landscape of the Ghanaian banking industry during last decade (1999-2009). New companies both local and foreign (particularly Nigeria and South Africa) have emerged some as start-ups, others through mergers or acquisitions. Some are the Stanbic Bank, Bank of African and International Commercial Bank Company (ICB) to mention a few; all virtually offering similar products in the industry. The concepts of competitive edge over other players, its importance and impact on corporate performance cannot be overemphasized. There is a more positive source of uncertainty in financial services markets. A decade of regulatory changes has erased legal constraints upon strategy and success from competitive landscapes. A burst of new product innovation over the period, unprecedented in the industry, has significantly altered the product and service mix. The acceptance of new technology and the radical changes in the banking sector suggests the need to look at the size and location of potential customers and establish attractive strategic plans for achieving the corporate objective. Customer awareness has become paramount and these customers are increasingly becoming educated and more sophisticated, generally healthier with a life expectancy age of 57 years in Ghana among others. However, many predictable changes seem to take reputable banks by surprise. In recent years credit facilities were rushed on customers in the name of poverty 1 alleviation by government influence and other temporarily compelling measures that did not stand the test of time. -

bit.ly/pocketsofeffectiveness Pockets of Effectiveness Working Paper No. 11 Bank of Zambia’s autonomy amidst political turnovers in Zambia Caesar Cheelo1 and Marja Hinfelaar2 September 2020 1 Southern African Institute for Policy and Research (SAIPAR), Lusaka, Zambia Email correspondence: [email protected] 2 Southern African Institute for Policy and Research (SAIPAR), Lusaka, Zambia Email correspondence: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-912593-66-8 Pockets of effectiveness (PoEs) are public organisations that function effectively in providing public goods and services, despite operating in an environment where effective public service delivery is not the norm. This project, which investigates PoEs in relation to the politics of state-building and regime survival in sub-Saharan Africa, is being led by Professor Sam Hickey, based at the Global Development Institute, The University of Manchester, in collaboration with Professor Giles Mohan (The Open University), Dr Abdul-Gafaru Abdulai (University of Ghana), Dr Badru Bukenya (Makerere University), Dr Benjamin Chemouni (University of Cambridge), Dr Marja Hinfelaar (SAIPAR, Lusaka) and Dr Matt Tyce (GDI,The University of Manchester). It is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Department for International Development with some additional funding from the FCDO-funded Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre. http://www.effective-states.org/research/pockets-of-effectiveness/ Bank of Zambia’s autonomy amidst political turnovers in Zambia Abstract This working paper analyses the role of Zambia’s central bank, the Bank of Zambia (BOZ), in delivering on its mandate, following banking reforms in the early 1990s. Despite occasional political pressures arising out of the competitive clientelist democracy, especially with regards to banking supervision and appointments of governors, BOZ has been able to deliver on its mandate and is regarded as a ‘pocket of effectiveness’. -

1 Mapping the Retail Payment Services Landscape: Zambia This
Mapping the Retail Payment Services Landscape: Zambia This report was commissioned by FinMark Trust Bankable Frontier Associates LLC www.bankablefrontier.com 30 November, 2012 1 Acknowledgements: Our thanks to the Banking, Currency and Payment System Department at the Bank of Zambia and executives from the private sector who gave their time to answer questions and help us understand their view of the current context for payment services in Zambia. Thank you to Edwin Banda and colleagues at Lusaka Probe Market Research for focus group facilitation and translation support. And with sincere gratitude, thank you to the individuals who shared so openly the most intimate details of their financial lives during our demand side research. Authors: Ahmed Dermish Denise Dias Caitlin Sanford Bwalya ChonaBwalya Project Director Supply Side Researcher Demand Side Researcher P. Chona Associate Bankable Frontier Associate Consultant Bankable Frontier Associates Bankable Frontier Associates Associates 2 Abstract This report is part of a series commissioned by FinMark Trust to examine the retail payments landscape in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It distils key findings from research conducted in Zambia in March 2012 and provides tools for understanding key drivers for retail payments system development in the country. Zambia has made remarkable progress towards modernization of its national payment system, but there is a long way to go until most of the population can benefit from convenient, accessible and affordable electronic payments. This research finds that there is no single major regulatory or policy obstacle limiting progress, despite the fact that the applicable framework can still be improved. The Bank of Zambia is aware of the current regulatory gaps and is working on addressing them.
