The Bank of Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting excellence in economic and financial journalism through the Governor’s Economic and Financial Story of the Year Award.
The award, which recognises outstanding economic reporting, offers the overall winner a fully sponsored trip to the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings.
The Bank’s Second Deputy Governor, Mrs. Matilda Asante-Asiedu, restated this commitment at the Inaugural Governor’s New Year Media Engagement held on January 16, 2026.
She emphasised the critical role of the media in translating monetary policy decisions to the public, noting that effective policy communication requires strong collaboration between the Bank and journalists.
“Here at the Bank of Ghana, we have a responsibility for monetary policy, but when it comes to communicating the outcomes of that policy, the tenets of that policy, we cannot do it alone. We need you, the media, to be able to do that,” Mrs. Asante-Asiedu stated.
