Issah Atta, Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, and member of Finance Committee in Parliament has led a press conference to discuss the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 financial results — a report that underscores the country’s significant strides toward economic stability and growth in a positive milestone for Ghana’s economy.
The MP emphasized that while the results show a net loss of GH¢15.6 billion for 2025, this must be viewed in the context of deliberate policy actions aimed at stabilizing the economy, stressing the fact Ghana has achieved remarkable progress under the current NDC Government supervised by the Governor, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, in key areas such as inflation reduction, currency strength, and record-high reserves.
According to him, “Ghana’s economy has been transformed over the past year,”, “Inflation has plummeted from 23.8% at the end of 2024 to just 5.4% at the end of 2025, and has continued to decline into March this year. This stability has directly benefited families, businesses, and everyday Ghanaians — from stable food prices to lower borrowing costs.”
He pointed out that the cedi appreciated by 41% in 2025, making it the strongest currency among emerging markets, and that Ghana’s international reserves rose to a historic US$14.5 billion — the highest ever recorded. Additionally, the policy rate was cut from 27% to 14%, leading to lower lending rates, which is boosting access to affordable credit for small businesses, farmers, and homebuyers.
“Despite the financial challenges faced in 2025, these results reflect the cost of the necessary work to restore stability. The good news is that these costs are behind us,” Atta stated. “Going forward, inflation is under control, reserves are at record levels, and confidence in our economy is at an all-time high.”
Hon. Atta also highlighted the role of government and Parliament, noting the passage of key legal frameworks like the Bank of Ghana Amendment Act and the Ghana Accelerated National Reserve Accumulation Policy (GANRAP), which strengthen Ghana’s resilience and long-term stability.
He assured Ghanaians that the Bank of Ghana remains fully capable of executing its mandate, with other central banks around the world experiencing similar financial challenges. “Ghana is not alone in this journey. Our resilience is evident, and our focus remains on sustainable growth and economic prosperity,” he concluded.
This progress demonstrates that Ghana is on a strong recovery path, with tangible results that benefit every Ghanaian. The nation’s economic indicators continue to point upward, promising a brighter and more stable future for all.
