Ghana’s pension sector has gained international recognition following the appointment of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) to the Executive Committee of the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors (IOPS).
The Executive Committee is the highest decision-making body of the organisation, responsible for steering global pension supervision standards. NPRA’s appointment marks the first time Ghana has attained such a position in the international pensions space.
In a further boost, Ghana has also secured the hosting rights for the 2026 conference of the Africa Pensions Supervisors Association (APSA), bringing regulators from across the continent together to share knowledge and strengthen pension systems.
The NPRA described these developments as a testament to Ghana’s progress in pension regulation and supervision.
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening governance, expanding coverage, and ensuring retirement security for Ghanaian workers.
