Speaking at the inauguration of the Board Of Directors Bank Of Ghana on Thursday, 13th March 2025 in Accra, Dr. Asiama remarked that the Board, composed of esteemed professionals with vast expertise, tasked with guiding the Bank’s policy direction and ensuring that they navigate these challenges with boldness, integrity, and accountability- “this moment marks the beginning of a new chapter for our institution, as we embark on a renewed commitment to financial stability, sound monetary policy, and economic resilience”.
He assured the Vice President who was the guest of his obligation to restore confidence in the Bank of Ghana, uphold price stability, strengthen the financial position, and reinforce good governance as they officially commence work today, “we do so with an understanding of the weight of responsibility on our shoulders”.
“The decisions taken here will not only shape the future of the Bank but also impact businesses, households, and the overall economy”, he stressed.
