Prior to the auction, an inspection of the items was held from Wednesday, January 29 to Friday, January 31, 2020.

The Bank of Ghana (BoG), on May 31, 2019, revoked the license of 347 Microfinance Institutions.

The BoG revoked the licences of 347 Microfinance Institutions on May 31, 2019. The Central Bank said this was to remove insolvent and dormant institutions that have no reasonable prospects of rehabilitation and have denied depositors access to their deposits, thereby constituting a threat to the stability of the financial system.

In accordance with Section 123(2) of Act 930, the BoG appointed Eric Nana Nipah, a Director of PricewaterhouseCoopers (Ghana) Limited (“PwC”) as Receiver for the purposes of winding down the affairs of the affected microfinance companies.

Mr Nipah said he had paid about GHC30 million worth of claims to affected depositors as of August 2019.

He said that he received close to 152,000 depositor claims worth about GH?1.4 billion.
