Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Johnson Pandit Asiama, has reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to consolidating recent macroeconomic gains and reinforcing long-term resilience in the financial sector.
He noted that disciplined monetary policy and ongoing regulatory reforms are beginning to produce tangible results, including a sharp decline in inflation and improved business and consumer confidence.
Dr. Asiama made the remarks during a meeting with the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce at Bank Square on Monday, February 23, 2026. He stressed that sustaining the recovery will require structural discipline throughout the financial ecosystem.
“Durability requires stronger business models, broader ownership, deeper intermediation, disciplined innovation, and sound governance,” he said.
The Governor emphasised that the central bank’s focus extends beyond short-term stabilisation to building a more competitive and resilient banking and financial system capable of supporting sustainable economic growth.
He assured members of the Chamber that the Bank remains committed to transparency, stakeholder engagement and policy consistency to strengthen stability and bolster investor confidence.
The remarks come amid a series of monetary tightening and regulatory measures introduced by the central bank to restore price stability and enhance oversight. These efforts have coincided with easing inflationary pressures and renewed confidence in the broader economy.
Ghana’s headline inflation declined significantly to 3.8 percent in January 2026 — the lowest level in five years — while the Bank of Ghana reduced its policy rate to 15.5 percent.
