The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region has congratulated Dr. Johnson Asiamah on his nomination by the President as Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG).
According to the party, Dr. Asiamah’s extensive expertise in central banking, monetary policy, and financial regulation makes him a highly suitable choice for this critical role, especially at a time when Ghana’s economic recovery and financial stability are of utmost importance.
In a statement on Saturday, February 1, and signed by the Regional Communication Officer, Mr. Kafui Sorkpa Agbleze, the NDC emphasised that Dr. Asiamah’s appointment was a testament to his distinguished career and dedication to Ghana’s financial sector.
“As a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, he played a key role in shaping monetary policy and ensuring financial stability. We are confident that under his leadership, the Bank of Ghana will continue to implement sound policies that foster economic growth, stabilize the cedi, and promote investor confidence,” the statement said.
The Volta NDC further noted that Dr. Asiamah’s appointment aligned with the party’s vision of strengthening Ghana’s financial institutions and ensuring prudent economic management. They encouraged him to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and accountability in managing the country’s monetary policies for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
Additionally, the party pledged its support for policies that promote national development and economic progress. Dr. Johnson Asiamah was nominated on Friday, January 31, following the acceptance of a formal request by the current Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, to proceed on terminal leave ahead of his retirement on March 31, 2025. Dr. Asiamah previously served as the Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana from 2016 to 2017. His appointment is pending approval by the Council of State.
