The new Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson Asiamah, has assured Ghanaians of curbing the alarming inflation in the country as part of the central bank’s core mandate.
He said he is committed to addressing the economic challenges confronting the nation to subdue the suffering of the masses.
Dr. Asiamah made the comments during his first official meeting with the Deputy Governors of the BoG, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari and Elsie Addo Awadzie, where he acknowledged the need for key policy adjustments to respond to the macroeconomic pressures that have weighed heavily on growth.
He indicated that there are specific measures to be adopted in dealing with the challenges which would be detailed to the public later.
Whilst stressing on the need to stick to the strategic direction of the bank, he stated that the strain on the economy from the inflation requires strategic modifications to its policies.
“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 said.
