Ghana’s central bank on Monday announced the launch of the Beta version of its macroeconomic database portal.
In a statement, Bank of Ghana (BoG)said the development is in line with international best practice and aims to provide a virtual one-stop-shop for extracting and visualising macroeconomic data.
“The Bank is committed to greater transparency associated with its inflation targeting framework of monetary policy,” the statement said, adding that the portal would also help meet data request demands from the general public and support research work.
Access to the database is at https://app.datawarehousepro.com/go/bog, covering five main economic sectors, namely, External, Financial, Fiscal, Monetary, as well as Real Sectors, with survey-based indicators.
The macroeconomic data comprises 255 monthly and 86 quarterly time-series data, sourced from the BoG and other key stakeholder institutions.
The bank pledged to update and revise the data according to the data release calendar published on the portal.
