The Head of Marketing & Brand at Ecobank Ghana Plc, Regina Ofori, has called on Ghanaians to take proactive steps in securing their financial futures through smarter investment and pension planning.
Delivering a speech at The Money Summit 2025 organised by Business and Financial Times (B&FT) in partnership with Ecobank Ghana, she underscored the critical role of strategic financial planning in building wealth and driving long-term economic growth.
“At Ecobank, we believe that sound investment strategies and sustainable pensions management are essential pillars for building lasting wealth, securing futures and driving inclusive economic growth,” she noted.
She underscored the importance of innovation, collaboration and information-sharing for helping individuals, businesses and institutions make informed financial decisions in today’s evolving global and regional financial landscape.
“In a rapidly evolving global and regional financial landscape, it is imperative that we continue to innovate, collaborate and share insights that enable individuals, businesses and institutions to make informed decisions for long-term prosperity,” she stated.
Themed ‘Optimising investment and pensions management: Strategies for sustainable retirement income and economic growth’, the summit brought together financial experts, policymakers, media, institutional investors and the public for an in-depth discussion on best practices and emerging trends in investment and pensions management.
As part of Ecobank’s contribution to the financial empowerment of its clients, Mrs. Ofori introduced a suite of investment and retirement products developed under the Ecobank Development Corporation (EDC) platform.
These include the EDC Ghana Balanced Fund, EDC Ghana Retirement Fund, EDC Ghana Fixed Income Unit Trust Sub B, EDC Ghana Money Market Sub B, EDC Ghana Global Growth Trust and EDC Ghana Africa Cash Trust.
“We encourage you to explore these products, they are viable investment options to support your long-term financial and retirement goals,” she urged.
She further highlighted the importance of education and knowledge-sharing in promoting financial literacy and resilience.
“This summit reflects our shared commitment with B&FT to empower stakeholders with practical knowledge that not only optimises financial outcomes but also strengthens the economic resilience of individuals and communities across Ghana and beyond,” she stated.
She urged attendees to take personal responsibility for their financial futures, saying: “We must all leave with one resolve – we will keep an eye on our pensions and put in the work needed to improve them”.
