Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Johnson Asiama has told institutional investors, brokers and fund managers in Bangkok that Ghana's economic progress is real and the policy discipline behind it isn't going anywhere.
The meetings, held on the sidelines of the 2026 IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings, focused on the country's outlook and what it will take to make the current stability stick.
Dr Asiama pointed to inflation falling from 23.8 per cent at the end of 2024 to 5.2 per cent in September 2026, alongside a cumulative policy rate cut of 1,400 basis points that brought the rate down to 14 per cent.
"These gains provide a stronger foundation for investment, business planning and growth," he said, framing the numbers as evidence rather than promises.
Moody's decision on October 9 to upgrade Ghana's sovereign credit rating from Caa1 to B3, with a stable outlook, added weight to the message. The agency cited improved financing conditions, lower borrowing costs and fiscal discipline backed by institutional reforms.
What Investors Are Watching
Dr Asiama acknowledged that investor confidence hinges on consistency, not just headline figures.
He said the Bank's focus remains on rebuilding reserves and strengthening institutions, while keeping a close eye on external risks including dollar and gold price movements, financing conditions, and tensions in the Middle East ahead of the Monetary Policy Committee's November decision.
He closed by framing the task ahead as one of reinforcement rather than reinvention.
"Our responsibility is to reinforce Ghana's progress through credible policy and sustained action, creating the conditions for long-term investment and lasting economic opportunity," he said, leaving investors with a message built more on continuity than fresh promises.
