FROM STRESS TO STABILITY BUT WE MUST STAY THE COURSE.

Ghana’s financial sector has come through economic shocks and debt restructuring pressures stronger and more resilient.

The 2025 Financial Stability Review points to strong profitability, sound solvency and improved performance across the financial sector.

Now, the focus shifts to the future: greater resilience, deeper policy coordination and more innovation.

Dr. Johnson Asiama says he is receiving calls asking for the reduction of our medium-term inflation target band which is 8% plus or minus 2 percentage points.
“They say we are too good for 8% (±2%)”.

With inflation at 5.0%, should Ghana set the bar lower?

Watch the Governor’s take.

01/09/2026

Ghana’s economy grew by 6.4% in the first quarter of 2026, up from 6.2% during the same period in 2025.

There are other encouraging signs:

* Ghana now has US$12.9 billion in reserves — enough to pay for about five months of the country’s imports.
* Ghana recorded an US$8.8 billion trade surplus, meaning we exported far more than we imported.
* The Cedi has remained broadly stable, helping to keep the cost of goods bought from abroad under control.
* Ghana has received credit rating upgrades, with hopes of another upgrade later this year.

Governor Dr. Johnson Asiama says these developments show that Ghana’s economic recovery is gaining strength.

One thing we have done right since last year was to build high amounts of reserves.🇬🇭

Governor Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama explains how those reserves have helped Ghana absorb shocks and why cocoa, non-traditional exports and remittances are key to rebuilding them.

With nearly $8 billion in remittances coming home last year, the question is: Can we channel more into investment?
