The newly appointed Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, has assured financial markets that the ongoing leadership transition at the central bank will not disrupt its operations or policy direction.
Speaking after formally assuming office, Dr. Asiama emphasized his commitment to maintaining stability and continuity, assuring that the institution will continue to uphold its mandate effectively.
“The market should have no concerns—our work will continue without disruptions,” he stated during a meeting with the two Deputy Governors, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari and Elsie Addo Awadzie.
He reiterated that the transition is being handled smoothly, with key officials already familiar with one another, ensuring that policy implementation remains consistent.
“The public must see us working together because this is simply another transition,” he noted, adding that as time progresses, other key areas within the institution will be reviewed.
Dr. Asiama’s takeover follows Dr. Ernest Addison’s decision to begin his terminal leave on February 3, 2025, ahead of his official retirement on March 28, 2025, in line with the Bank of Ghana Act, 2002 (Act 612), as amended.
