The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Johnson Pandit Asiama has opened the 131st Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) Meeting, urging careful, evidence-based policy decisions amid global uncertainty and rising energy prices, on Monday, 20 July 2026.
Noting Ghana’s continued macroeconomic resilience, Dr. Asiama said the Committee will review recent inflation trends, the impact of the Bank’s May policy reforms, evolving domestic liquidity conditions, and external risks to the economy.
“Our task this week is not simply to assess the latest data. It is to determine whether the framework we strengthened in May remains fit for the conditions now before us, and whether the choices we made then continue to serve the medium-term objectives on which our credibility depends,” the Governor stated.
Dr. Asiama also announced the launch of the inaugural Monetary Policy Committee Educational Observership Programme (MPC-EOP), welcoming students from the University of Ghana to observe aspects of the MPC process.
The programme forms part of the Bank’s commitment to transparency, public engagement, and nurturing the next generation of economists and policymakers.
