The Bank of Ghana’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is gearing up for its 123rd regular meeting, scheduled to take place from March 24 to 26, 2025.
The meeting the first to be chaired by the new BoG Governor, Dr Johnson Asiama will bring together key stakeholders to review developments in the economy and make decisions that will shape Ghana’s economic future.
The MPC plays a crucial role in Ghana’s economic management, responsible for setting the monetary policy rate, which has a direct impact on borrowing and lending costs for businesses, households, and investors.
The committee’s decisions are guided by its assessment of the economy’s performance, including inflation, growth, and the balance of payments.
In recent years, Ghana’s economy has faced significant challenges, including high inflation, currency volatility, and a large fiscal deficit.
However, the government and the Bank of Ghana have implemented various measures to stabilize the economy, including tight monetary policy, fiscal discipline, and structural reforms.
The upcoming MPC meeting will provide an opportunity for the committee to review the effectiveness of these measures and make adjustments as necessary.
The meeting will conclude with a press conference on March 28, 2025, where the committee’s decision will be announced.
Previous MPC Meetings and Decisions
The MPC has held several meetings in recent years, with a focus on addressing the country’s economic challenges.
