Deputy Governor Highlights Economic Recovery And Stability At Money Summit 2026
The Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Matilda Asante-Asiedu, has underscored the importance of sustaining Ghana’s recent economic gains, describing stability, trust, and access to capital as essential pillars for long-term growth.
Delivering a keynote address at The Money Summit 2026 in Accra on June 2, Mrs. Asante-Asiedu outlined the country’s economic turnaround and called for collective efforts to preserve the progress achieved in recent years.
Addressing participants from the banking, finance, agriculture, and public sectors, she noted that Ghana had made significant strides in restoring macroeconomic stability and strengthening confidence in the economy.
“We have secured stability. Our charge now is to sustain it,” she stated.
Mrs. Asante-Asiedu emphasized that trust, capital, and stability are deeply interconnected and play a critical role in driving sustainable economic development.
According to her, a stable economic environment helps build investor confidence, lowers the cost of capital, and creates opportunities for businesses to expand and contribute to national growth.
“Trust lowers the cost of capital, capital funds growth, growth sustains stability, and stability, in turn, deepens trust,” she explained.
The Deputy Governor reaffirmed the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to maintaining price stability and safeguarding the gains made through prudent monetary policies.
She also highlighted the central bank’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the financial sector, deepen domestic capital markets, and ensure stability in the foreign exchange market.
Mrs. Asante-Asiedu noted that these measures are crucial to creating a resilient economy capable of supporting investment, innovation, and job creation.
