The Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Mrs. Matilda Asante-Asiedu, has called on stakeholders across the economic sectors to work together to preserve Ghana’s hard-earned economic stability and drive sustainable growth.
Speaking at ‘The Money Summit 2026’ in Accra on June 2, Mrs. Asante-Asiedu highlighted the country's recent economic turnaround and stressed that maintaining the gains achieved requires a collective commitment from government, businesses, financial institutions, and citizens.
Sighted in an official Facebook page of the Bank of Ghana, addressing participants from the banking, finance, agriculture, and public sectors, she emphasized that economic stability must remain a national priority.
“We have secured stability. Our charge now is to sustain it,” she stated.
Mrs. Asante-Asiedu noted that trust, capital, and stability form the foundation of long-term economic growth, explaining that each element reinforces the other.
“Trust lowers the cost of capital, capital funds growth, growth sustains stability, and stability, in turn, deepens trust,” she said.
The Deputy Governor reaffirmed the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to implementing policies aimed at safeguarding price stability and strengthening the country's financial system.
She also outlined the central bank’s continued focus on deepening domestic capital markets and ensuring an orderly foreign exchange market to support economic development.
According to her, sustaining macroeconomic stability will be critical in attracting investment, fostering business confidence, and creating opportunities for economic expansion.
Mrs. Asante-Asiedu urged all stakeholders to play their part in protecting the gains made in recent years, stressing that lasting economic progress depends on maintaining confidence in the country’s economic institutions and policies.
The Money Summit 2026 brought together key players from various sectors of the economy to discuss strategies for promoting growth, investment, and financial resilience in Ghana.
