The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has strongly defended the Bank of Ghana’s recent monetary policy measures.
IMF Mission Chief Ruben Atoyan insists the central bank acted prudently despite the operational losses recorded in its 2025 financial statements.
Speaking on PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, he rejected suggestions that the Bank of Ghana had been overly aggressive in its approach to stabilising the economy.
“So, first, I would disagree with this view that the Bank of Ghana was too aggressive,” he stated.
“I think it was very prudent, and the achievement is, I think, manifested in the outcomes, and I think people on the ground actually recognise that.”
His comments come amid growing public debate over the central bank’s operational losses and the broader cost of its inflation-fighting measures.
Dr Atoyan explained that central banks often incur high costs when trying to manage inflation and stabilise financial systems during periods of economic distress.
