Dr. Johnson Asiama, the newly appointed Governor of the Bank of Ghana, has sought to reassure the public and financial markets that the ongoing leadership transition at the central bank will not affect its operations or policy direction.

Speaking shortly after officially taking office, Dr. Asiama emphasized his dedication to ensuring that the bank continues to function smoothly and consistently. “There is no need for concern—the work will carry on without disruptions,” he said during a meeting with the bank’s Deputy Governors, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari and Elsie Addo Awadzie.

The newly-appointed Governor also reassured stakeholders that the leadership handover was being managed smoothly. With key officials already well-acquainted with each other, he noted that the transition would be seamless, allowing for the uninterrupted implementation of policy.

“This is just another transition, and the public will see us working closely together,” Dr. Asiama explained, adding that the bank would continue to review and improve key areas of its operations over time.

Dr. Asiama’s appointment follows Dr. Ernest Addison’s decision to begin his terminal leave on February 3, 2025, ahead of his official retirement on March 28, 2025, in accordance with the Bank of Ghana Act, 2002 (Act 612), as amended.
