BoG pledges policy discipline to sustain inflation decline

Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, has reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to consolidating recent macroeconomic gains and strengthening long-term resilience within the financial system.

According to him, disciplined monetary policy and regulatory reforms are beginning to yield measurable results, contributing to a sharp decline in inflation and improved business and consumer confidence.

Speaking at a meeting with the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce at Bank Square on Monday, February 23, 2026, Dr. Asiama stressed that sustaining the recovery will require structural discipline across the financial ecosystem.

“Durability requires stronger business models, broader ownership, deeper intermediation, disciplined innovation, and sound governance,” he emphasised.

He maintained that the central bank remains focused not just on stabilisation, but on building a more competitive and resilient banking and financial sector capable of supporting long-term growth.

The Governor assured the Chamber that the Bank is committed to transparency, stakeholder collaboration and policy consistency to reinforce stability and investor confidence.

This comes as the central bank has already implemented a series of monetary tightening and regulatory measures aimed at restoring price stability and strengthening oversight, efforts that have coincided with easing inflationary pressures and renewed confidence within the broader economy.

Ghana’s headline inflation fell sharply to 3.8% in January 2026, the lowest in five years, while the Bank of Ghana reduced the policy rate to 15.5%.
