Bank of Ghana Governor Johnson Asiama pledged late Friday that the central bank would sustain monetary policy gains made in 2025 over the long term to ensure durable confidence in the Ghanaian economy.
Asiama said during the bank’s annual New Year interaction with the media that the Bank of Ghana worked hard in 2025 to anchor inflation expectations and restore stability.
According to him, the steady decline of inflation from 23.8 percent in Dec. 2024 to 5.4 percent in Dec. 2025 was due to disciplined monetary tightening, effective liquidity management, and clear policy communication.
“The Bank’s focus this year is to embed the reforms of the past period into routine practice and ensure that stability translates into durable confidence, effective intermediation, and predictable markets. With stability restored, 2026 is about consolidation and discipline,” the governor pledged.
He added that monetary policy would remain measured and forward-looking, anchored on price stability and supported by clear signaling and consistent liquidity management. “The objective is not to surprise markets but to reinforce credibility through continuity.”
On reforms, the governor said the passage of the Bank of Ghana Amendments Bill, 2025, strengthens the central bank’s independence, enhances accountability, and reinforces safeguards around the bank’s financing of government.
In that regard, Asiama noted that “These reforms represent an important step in aligning Ghana’s central banking framework with international best practice.”
