Bank of Ghana Governor Johnson Pandit Asiama on Monday said 2026 would be a “true test” of policy discipline and credibility, despite clear improvements in the country’s macroeconomic indicators.
Opening the 128th Monetary Policy Committee meeting on Jan. 26, Asiama noted that inflation has eased to 5.4 per cent, gross international reserves have risen to about $13.8 billion, and confidence is gradually returning to the economy.
“All the economic indicators look good, but the improved conditions remind us that the work has only begun and that more effort is needed to lock in stability,” he said.
As the committee deliberates on policy direction, the governor said members would carefully assess the pace of policy adjustment, foreign exchange stability, the impact of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme and the integrity of economic data ahead of the next International Monetary Fund review.
