Ghana's maiden Digital Economy Forum airs tonight at 8 p.m. on JoyNews and Joy FM, bringing together policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, and academics to discuss digital fraud's impact on consumer confidence and business growth.
Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako, founder of e-Crime Bureau, says cyberattacks have become an existential risk for banks, fintech companies, e-commerce platforms and other digital businesses, which must invest in protection and early detection systems to maintain revenue, customer trust and operational continuity. A Digital Economy Forum themed "The Trust Crisis" will examine how fraud and cybercrime are affecting confidence in Ghana's digital economy.
The founder of e-Crime Bureau says digital fraud in Ghana flourishes due to lack of user awareness and weak institutional systems to detect and prevent attacks. He argues that stronger "capable guardians" — including awareness, systems, and capacity for fraud detection and prevention — are needed as more people use mobile money, banking apps, and online platforms.
The Founder and Executive Chair of e-Crime Bureau says social engineering remains Ghana's weakest link in fighting digital fraud, with fraudsters increasingly exploiting human trust, fear and ignorance through phishing, cloned accounts, fake officials and impersonation of trusted brands.
e-Crime Bureau founder Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako says cybercrime losses are so significant that if cybercrime were a country it would rank among the world's largest economies; West Africa and Ghana carry a significant share of these losses. The warning comes ahead of a Digital Economy Forum examining how fraud affects confidence in Ghana's digital economy.
Banks and fintech companies disagree over who faces heavier regulation in Ghana's digital financial sector, with each claiming the other operates under lighter supervision. The Bank of Ghana's Head of Fintech and Innovation says the real concern is that fraud can spread across the entire financial system if any part is weakly regulated.
The Bank of Ghana's Head of Fintech and Innovation warned that increasing fraud cases could erode public trust in digital financial services and reverse progress towards a cash-lite economy. He noted that 16,733 fraud cases were recorded across banks and payment service providers in 2024, up from 15,865 in 2023.
The Bank of Ghana's Head of Fintech and Innovation is calling for a coordinated, industry-wide system to combat fraud across banks, mobile money operators, and fintech companies, arguing that separate systems are inadequate in an interconnected ecosystem. Ghana's digital financial sector recorded 16,733 fraud cases in 2024, up from 15,865 in 2023, with payment service providers accounting for the majority.
Ghana has launched the Digital Economy Forum, a national platform bringing together policymakers, regulators, business leaders, academics, and others to examine technologies, policies and ideas shaping the country's digital future. Each edition will combine documentary investigation with televised dialogue to address pressing issues in digital commerce, financial services, cybersecurity, and other areas.

The e-Crime Bureau, a cybersecurity service provider established in 2011, hosted its first Founder's Opera Soirée on 22 May, an invitation-only event combining thought leadership with cultural experience to discuss AI-driven cyber threats.
The e-Crime Bureau held its inaugural Founder's Opera Soirée in Accra, bringing together cybersecurity chiefs, executives, and legal professionals to discuss emerging cyber threats, governance, and organisational resilience. The event featured remarks from the Founder and former CSA Director-General Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako and a presentation on leadership in an AI-driven threat environment.
Ghana's banks recorded 16,733 fraud cases in 2024, a five per cent increase on 2023, with total value at risk climbing 13 per cent to roughly GH¢99 million, even as the sector has become better capitalised and supervised since the 2018 licence revocations.
Former Cyber Security Authority Director-General Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako called for Ghana's educational system to be redesigned so graduates can critically and ethically interrogate digital information, warning that algorithms—which are not neutral and can be shaped by biased data—pose cybersecurity risks if left unquestioned in decision-making processes.
Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako, Founder and Executive Chair of the e-Crime Bureau, has called for Ghana's educational system to be redesigned to equip graduates with the ability to critically interrogate digital information in the algorithmic era, warning that algorithms designed by humans and trained on biased data could negatively affect human lives and pose cybersecurity risks if left unquestioned.
The e-Crime Bureau Executive Chairman has expressed concern that traditional degree programmes are producing graduates unable to operate in real-world threat environments because curricula have not kept pace with the speed and complexity of AI-driven attacks. He called for a structural reorientation of cybersecurity education toward formation of disciplined judgment through exposure to live environments, simulations, and real investigations.
