“It is sad but we will take it a day at a time,” his son said, adding, “It also brings closure to this thing because we saw it coming”.

Before his retirement as deputy governor in 2006, the late Asiedu-Mante spent 38 years working for BoG.

He was also a former chairman of the board of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited and played a key role in bringing the idea of rural banking to the nation.

He oversaw the Transitions Apex Steering Committee of the central bank, which was established to provide guidelines for a regulatory framework for rural and community banks (RCBs).

The committee’s work resulted in the creation of the ARB Apex Bank, an RCBs’ miniature central bank, and the statewide operationalization of RCBs.

Rural Banking in Ghana, written by Asiedu-Mante, was released as a book in 2011.
