Previous board did not enjoy honeymoon- BoG Governor

Dr. Ernest Addison, Governor of Bank of Ghana.

The Governor of Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Ernest K. Addison has stated that the previous Governing Board of the Bank did not enjoy “honeymoon”.

According to him, when the previous Governing Board was inaugurated in August 2017 and members had to quickly meet to address the financial sector challenges.

“That Board had no ‘honeymoon’, and I believe this reconstituted Board is also coming in at a time when the covid-19 pandemic has challenged the conduct of monetary policy and the quest for safeguarding financial stability.”

Dr. Ernest K. Addison

Dr. Ernest Addison, in his inauguration speech, noted that BoG has been a crucial organization involved in the development of the country since independence.
