Governor of Bank of Ghana Meets Commercial Bank CEOs, Highlights Economic Recovery

The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, on Tuesday evening held his final Post–Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) engagement of the year with Chief Executive Officers of Ghana’s commercial banks, reaffirming government and central bank commitment to sustained macroeconomic stability.

Addressing the meeting, Dr. Asiama noted that Ghana’s economy has shown clear signs of recovery after a challenging period, attributing the progress to discipline, strong coordination, and shared efforts between the central bank, government, and the financial sector.

According to the Governor, inflation is easing and market confidence is gradually returning, developments which have informed the MPC’s decision to set the policy rate at 18 percent. He explained that the current rate reflects improving macroeconomic conditions and the Bank’s cautious but optimistic outlook.

During the engagement, the Bank of Ghana provided detailed explanations of the latest MPC decision, while commercial bank executives were given the opportunity to share their perspectives, concerns, and expectations ahead of 2026. Dr. Asiama emphasized that feedback from the banking sector remains critical in shaping effective monetary and financial sector policies.

He expressed appreciation for the openness and collaboration demonstrated by the banks throughout the year, describing the industry as a key partner in Ghana’s economic recovery.

“As we look ahead, it is important that we carry this momentum into 2026 with clarity, responsibility, and renewed purpose,” the Governor stated.

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment between the Bank of Ghana and commercial banks to continue working together to strengthen economic stability, support growth, and deepen confidence in Ghana’s financial system.
