Ghana's Central Bank Cuts Key Rate by 350bps to Boost Economy as Inflation Weakens

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 11/26/25 12:04 PM EST

12:04 PM EST, 11/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Ghana's central bank (BoG) Wednesday said its Monetary Policy Committee voted to lower the Monetary Policy Rate by 350 basis points to 18.0%.

"Given the anticipated significant decline in inflation by the end of the year, the tight monetary policy stance, the

significant build-up of reserves which is providing anchor for exchange rate stability, the Bank projects a continued stable inflation profile around the target and well into

the first half of 2026," wrote BoG in its policy statement.

"This is against the backdrop that current risks in the outlook to shift the path of inflation away from target have moderated significantly," the central bank added. "Hence, the prevailing high real interest rates provides some scope to ease policy to further boost the growth recovery efforts."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
