The newly appointed Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson Asiamah, has reaffirmed his dedication to addressing Ghana’s ongoing economic challenges, with a particular focus on curbing inflation as part of the central bank’s core responsibilities.
During his first official meeting with Deputy Governors Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari and Elsie Addo Awadzie, Dr. Asiamah acknowledged the macroeconomic pressures impacting the country’s growth and stressed the need for key policy adjustments to stabilize the economy.
While he did not disclose specific measures, the Governor assured that any policy changes would be communicated at the right time.
With inflationary pressures continuing to strain the economy, Dr. Asiamah emphasized that the BoG is carefully reviewing the situation and considering strategic adjustments. However, he reassured stakeholders that his appointment would not disrupt the bank’s overall direction and operational stability.
“We are focused on our mandate, and that remains unchanged. While there will be minor adjustments in response to the current economic challenges, we will communicate those at the right time,” Dr. Asiamah stated.
His remarks come at a critical time when Ghana faces ongoing inflationary concerns and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. With expectations high, the central bank is anticipated to take a steady yet adaptive approach under Dr. Asiamah’s leadership.
