BoG-private sector collaboration key to economic growth – Abena Amoah

At the National Economic Dialogue’s Private Sector-Led Growth session, Abena Amoah, Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange, urged the Bank of Ghana to actively involve the private sector in monetary policy discussions.

She argued that regular meetings at least twice a year between the BoG Governor, the Monetary Policy Committee, and business leaders are essential to aligning fiscal strategies with real economic challenges and opportunities.

Amoah emphasized that direct engagement would help bridge the gap between macroeconomic policies and on-the-ground realities, thereby boosting investment, job creation, and overall economic growth.

Her call reflects growing concerns that current monetary policies, including interest rate and inflation measures, are made without adequate input from those directly impacted, hindering sustainable recovery.
