There are many other benefits attached to the appropriate capitalization of the banking sector, and the Ghanaian banks stand to gain a lot from them.
Some of these benefits are:   Strong capital is a basic indication of solvency, and provides a good cushion against loss; an insurance against insolvency;    Recapitalization provides an opportunity for eliminating weak banks from the system in an orderly manner;    Well capitalized banks have better prospects for profitability and operational efficiency;    Recapitalization provides an avenue for broadening the shareholder base of banks, especially through public listing, thereby improving prospects for good corporate governance;    Well capitalized banks are better placed to finance the long term development needs of the Ghanaian economy and businesses; and    Banks are able to invest more in training and development of manpower.
