Business News of Monday, 5 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana (IEAG) has publicly defended the Bank of Ghana (BoG), asserting that recent criticisms of the central bank's operations lack technical context. However, according to a report by citinewsroom.com, the association credited the BoG's disciplined monetary policy for the cedi's strong recovery and improved trade conditions throughout 2025. Speaking at a New Year engagement in Accra, IEAG Executive Secretary, Samson Asaki Awingobit, addressed what he described as ‘false reportage’ surrounding the central bank. “These outcomes demonstrate that Ghana’s macroeconomic groundwork, anchored by robust monetary policy, has restored confidence and enhanced stability in foreign exchange markets,” the IEAG Executive Secretary said. The IEAG, thus, expressed optimism for 2026 and called for continued prudential monetary policy and closer engagement between policymakers and the private sector to sustain confidence and expand trade.
