While acknowledging the pivotal role that infrastructure plays in driving economic growth and enhancing livelihoods on the continent, she underscored the urgency for concerted efforts to address the continent’s infrastructure deficit.

Speaking in a panel discussion on infrastructure development in Africa, during the launch of the 2025 Africa Prosperity Dialogue, Bawuah highlighted the presence of regional, commercial, and development banks in Africa which, according to her, could offer the needed support for infrastructure financing to propel growth in Africa.

She stressed the importance of collaboration among all financial stakeholders towards pooling funds for Africa’s development, just as she took time to highlight UBA’s contribution to infrastructure development over the years in Africa, including Ghana, and expressed the bank’s willingness to partner with governments and other entities to drive Africa’s development agenda with regards to closing the infrastructure gap in Africa.

She also emphasised the need for sustainable funding mechanisms, adding, “Our quest for good infrastructure like roads, railways, telecoms, etc. must be paid for, and therefore we must demonstrate the ability to pay for the funding,” she stated as she cited UBA’s financing of a $300 million road project in southern Africa, which is sustained through tolling mechanisms.
