The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) has maintained the policy rate at 30 percent.
Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr Ernest Addison, while addressing the 115th MPC press conference in Accra on Monday, November 27 stated that although inflation is dropping, it is still high, hence the decision to maintain the policy rate at 30 percent.
“The committee has decided to maintain the policy rate at 30 percent until inflation is firmly anchored on a downward trend,” he said.
The Policy Rate is an interest rate that the central bank sets in order to influence the evolution of the main monetary variables in the economy like consumer prices, exchange rate or credit expansion, among others.
