The Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman has urged the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to deepen collaboration with commercial banks and the business community to sustain the gains made in stabilising the Cedi and restore full confidence in the local currency. Speaking at the Cedi@60 celebrations in Accra, the Vice President said rebuilding trust in the Ghanaian currency requires coordinated efforts between the central bank, financial institutions, and the private sector. “The Bank of Ghana must continue to work closely with banks, businesses, and market players to strengthen stability and rebuild confidence in the Cedi,” she said. She noted that while recent data shows encouraging signs of recovery including a stronger Cedi and easing inflation the gains must be consolidated through discipline and partnership. The Vice President also called on the Ministry of Finance to uphold strict fiscal responsibility, noting that prudent public spending and debt management remain critical to sustaining macroeconomic stability. “The Ministry of Finance must continue to uphold fiscal responsibility. Monetary stability can only be effective when supported by sound fiscal policies,” she added. Professor Naana Opoku Agyeman commended the Bank of Ghana for its decisive policy measures in recent years, which have helped curb inflation, stabilize the Cedi, and restore investor confidence. She said government remains committed to working with the central bank and other economic actors to build a resilient, self-reliant economy capable of withstanding future shocks.
