The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has emphasised the need for collective responsibility in the country’s ongoing economic reset, noting that restoring macroeconomic stability and public confidence cannot be achieved by a single institution acting alone.
This was disclosed by the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, in a speech delivered on his behalf by an advisor, Dr. Francis Yao Kumah, at a training workshop organised by the Private Newspapers and Online News Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) in Ada on Saturday, January 24, 2026.
According to the Governor, the central bank’s current policy direction places strong emphasis on credibility, transparency and public understanding, stressing that an informed citizenry must be able to interpret economic signals beyond short-term gains.
“Resetting the economy is not the work of one institution. The Bank of Ghana will remain measured and forward-looking; we will consolidate reforms in the foreign exchange and money markets; safeguard innovation in payments and digital finance; and transition strategic programmes into sustainable arrangements. Above all, we will communicate with clarity and respect for your constitutional role,” the statement said.
On his part, the Executive Secretary of PRINPAG, George Wilson Kingson, described the engagement as a key pillar of a long-term roadmap to strengthen economic reporting and support national development, particularly at a time when economic reforms demand accuracy and depth in media reportage.
“This workshop is not an end in itself. We are confident that the knowledge and networks built here will translate into improved economic reporting, stronger media institutions, and a more informed public. On behalf of PRINPAG, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Bank of Ghana for its continued support and partnership,” he stated.
The two-day workshop equipped PRINPAG members with practical insights into Ghana’s macroeconomic framework, covering monetary policy, fiscal reforms, debt management and structural adjustments within the broader context of economic recovery.
The programme aimed at demystifying complex economic issues, strengthening analytical reporting skills, promoting responsible economic journalism, deepening media–policy engagement, and encouraging reflection on the sustainability of media businesses in a post-debt restructuring environment.
