The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama, has reiterated the central bank’s commitment to maintaining the strength of the cedi and building greater public confidence in the national currency.

Speaking at Bank Square during the internal launch of the Cedi@60 celebrations, he highlighted key reforms implemented by the Bank over the years to ensure monetary stability.

He mentioned the tightening of the inflation-targeting framework, improved regulatory oversight, and the adoption of digital innovation in payment systems as notable reforms undertaken by the central bank.

Dr Asiama attributed the Bank’s progress to the hard work and professionalism of both current and former BoG staff, recognizing their contributions to sustaining the country’s financial system.

Looking ahead, he emphasized that the future of the cedi would be shaped by trends such as digital finance, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), climate change, and increasing global integration.

“Our goal should be to leave behind not just a stable currency, but a stronger and more respected economy,” he stated.

Dr Asiama encouraged BoG staff to view the cedi’s legacy as a responsibility to protect and strengthen, ensuring price stability and promoting inclusive economic growth.
