    Economic recovery: I’m happy with the MPC and the work that we have done – Addison

    Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison has given the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) a pat on the back for the economic recovery in Ghana.

    Dr Addison stated that in the assessment of the Committee, preliminary data since the last MPC meeting held in July 2024 indicates that macroeconomic conditions have generally improved.

    Headline inflation has eased, and growth has `picked up. Fiscal policy implementation has been robust, providing impulse that is supportive of growth, while monetary conditions have remained tight and supportive of the disinflation process.

    Addressing the 120th MPC press conference in Accra on Friday, September 27, he said “This economy is doing very well, if you look at the exchange rate, from 2017 to 2022 the Cedi moved from 4 to 6 Cedis, the problem we saw was just for 2022. It moved from 6 to 15 but we are recovering. I am quite happy with the MPC and the work that we have done.”

     

    “Given these considerations, the Committee decided to lower the Monetary Policy Rate by 200 basis points to 27.0 percent,” he said.
