Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on March 25, Dr Asiama explained that the financial impact of recent economic interventions was manageable and unlikely to recur in 2026.
According to him, the costs incurred were largely temporary and should not pose a continuing burden on the economy. He emphasised that the priority now is to sustain the progress achieved so far.
Despite the positive outlook, Dr Asiama acknowledged potential risks from external developments, particularly ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. He warned that such global shocks could influence Ghana’s economic trajectory if they persist.
He noted, however, that Ghana has experience in navigating similar global disruptions and remains prepared to respond effectively. Should the situation worsen, the central bank is ready to introduce new policy measures to cushion the economy.
Dr Asiama also revealed that the Bank of Ghana is working in close coordination with the Finance Ministry and other state institutions to monitor developments and implement timely responses.
He assured that contingency plans are already in place and that the country’s reserve levels remain strong. With aligned efforts across government agencies, he expressed optimism that Ghana will successfully weather any prolonged external economic challenges.
