3 h. ago First National Bank calls for realistic retirement planning to secure financial freedom

Retirement is often imagined as a season of freedom, stability, and fulfilment. But according to Samuel Acquah, Chief Risk Officer at First National Bank, the lived reality for many Ghanaian retirees reveals a gap between expectation and experience, requiring a fresh approach to financial planning. Speaking on the theme Redefining Financial Freedom for Retirement, Mr Acquah said while Ghana’s Three-Tier Pension system exists to support workers in both formal and informal sectors, most individuals still rely on informal planning methods that fall short of ensuring adequate retirement income. Many pensioners, he noted, cite low salaries, limited financial knowledge, and poor access to information as barriers to effective preparation.
