In a pivotal year-end engagement, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, convened with the CEOs of Ghana’s commercial banks for the final Post-MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) session of 2025. The meeting, held on the evening of December 17, served as both a reflection on the year’s economic journey and a strategic dialogue on the road ahead.
Dr. Asiama acknowledged the collective resilience and discipline that have steered Ghana’s economy through turbulent waters. “It has been a long road, but through discipline, coordination, and shared effort, we have seen clear signs of progress,” he noted. Inflation is steadily easing, market confidence is rebounding, and the policy rate has been adjusted to 18%, signaling a continued improvement in macroeconomic conditions.
The session provided a platform not only to unpack the MPC’s latest decisions but also to listen to the banking sector’s perspectives. CEOs shared insights on operational challenges, regulatory expectations, and their outlook for 2026. Dr. Asiama emphasized the importance of these candid exchanges, stating, “I value the candour and collaboration that define these engagements.”
As Ghana positions itself for sustained recovery and growth, the Governor expressed gratitude to the banking industry for its steadfast partnership. “Thank you to the banking industry for staying the course this year, and for stepping up as partners in Ghana’s recovery,” he said.
Looking ahead, Dr. Asiama called for continued momentum into 2026, anchored in clarity, responsibility, and renewed purpose. The engagement underscored the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to #ListeningLeadership and its collaborative approach to economic stewardship.
