Why this is not a comparison site
We keep the documents
Every figure on this site comes from a document somebody published. That is ordinary enough. What is less ordinary is that we still have the document — and in several cases nobody else does, including the institution that issued it.
Bank of Ghana publishes a lending rate return every month and removes the previous one. Fund managers replace a factsheet rather than versioning it. The Exchange posts this month’s report. Registers show today.
So a borrower cannot see whether credit is getting cheaper. A saver cannot prove a charge went up. Nobody can answer when did that change — unless somebody kept the back numbers.
We keep them. 634 documents, 197 MB, and growing every week without anybody remembering to.
What is held
Counted from the files themselves each time this page is built, so it cannot claim an archive that has stopped growing.
Bank of Ghana lending rate returns
9 documentsPublished by Bank of Ghana. They keep: The current notice only. We checked eight earlier months and found none.
Every bank's advertised rate and its all-in cost, monthly. Without the back numbers nobody can say whether borrowing is getting cheaper — which is a question we were asked by a journalist and could only answer because we had kept them.
Some of these cannot be obtained anywhere else, at any price, by anybody.
Ghana Stock Exchange monthly reports
21 documentsPublished by Ghana Stock Exchange. They keep: An archive back to 2017, which is better than most.
Every broker's share of trading, month by month, and the market totals. Reports from 2017 onward are held here; the brokers page draws on them.
Gold coin price circulars
436 documentsPublished by Bank of Ghana. They keep: Every circular, in the Bank's file store, but its pages list only recent ones.
Issued every business day. Every circular since the coin's launch in November 2024 is held here, read into a daily series of prices and premiums.
Some of these cannot be obtained anywhere else, at any price, by anybody.
Treasury bill auction results
25 documentsPublished by Bank of Ghana. They keep: Recent tenders.
What the government paid to borrow, weekly. The benchmark every other Ghanaian return is measured against.
Monthly Statistical Bulletins
11 documentsPublished by Bank of Ghana. They keep: Every edition, in its file store; its pages list only the latest few.
Inflation, Treasury bills, the policy rate, banks' average deposit and lending rates and exchange rates, month by month. Editions from 2017 are held here, with series reaching back to 2005.
Survey of Bank Charges
12 documentsPublished by Bank of Ghana. They keep: Each edition's file, unlisted; none was published between mid-2021 and mid-2025.
What every licensed bank charged, edition by edition: quarterly from 2019 to 2021, and again from 2025. The only record of how Ghanaian bank fees have moved.
Fund manager reports
34 documentsPublished by fund managers. They keep: The current one.
Monthly performance and holdings for funds whose managers publish no history.
Securities and Exchange Commission registers
86 documentsPublished by Securities and Exchange Commission. They keep: Today's register. There is no published history.
Who was licensed, and when. Registers are edited silently — a firm appears, a name changes, an entry goes. When somebody asks when a firm was struck off, the only honest answer available today is that the register does not say. We started keeping it in September 2026, so from a month from now there will be something to compare.
Some of these cannot be obtained anywhere else, at any price, by anybody.
What this lets the site answer
Whether bank fees are rising or falling. Across four returns spanning twenty months, the gap between the advertised rate and the all-in cost narrowed by 49% for corporate borrowers and 16% for small businesses. Three of those four are no longer listed by the Bank. Cedafin now holds the returns back to September 2021. The analysis →
When a fund changed its charge. Stanbic Cash Trust moved from 2.65% to 2.25% on 1 June 2026. Provable only because both factsheets survive; their own site shows the current one.
How concentrated the stock market actually is. One broker averages 54% of value traded across eighteen months — and swings between 20% and 79% month to month, which is a fact about how thin the market is rather than about any firm. The series →
The gaps, which we also record
Most months between September 2021 and May 2026 are missing from the record: only the returns shown on the lending-rates page survive. The rest were published and taken down, and a search of the file store of the Bank in October 2026 found no copies. We cannot get them, and we say so rather than presenting the series as complete.
A series with a hole in it looks whole until somebody computes across it. The gaps are checked automatically and reported, for the same reason every figure here carries a date.
If you need something from it
Journalists, researchers, regulators and anybody else: ask, and we will send the underlying document. No charge, no permission needed, no credit required. An archive nobody can reach is only half an archive.
data@cedafin.com · For journalists · How we source every figure
Not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana. We publish factual comparisons of regulated products and do not provide investment advice, hold client money, or execute transactions. These are public documents, published by the institutions named and kept as issued. We hold them because the questions readers ask are about change, and change cannot be shown from a single document.
