Ghana

Last year, Ghana topped the African countries but this year it dropped to second place.

Compared to their regional peers in Malawi, Uganda, and Angola, women in Ghana tend to be more inclined to have a bank account, likely due to their higher level of engagement in business activities. For instance, nearly 40% of women in Ghana have an account at a bank or financial institution compared to only around 20% in Angola, Malawi and Nigeria.
