President John Dramani Mahama has nominated Dr. Johnson Asiamah as the next Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), pending approval by the Council of State.

His nomination follows the decision of the current Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, to proceed on leave ahead of his March 31, 2025 retirement.

Dr. Asiamah holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Southampton, UK, and has extensive expertise in monetary policy formulation, financial stability regulation, and economic research. With over 23 years of experience at the Bank of Ghana, he has played a vital role in shaping Ghana’s banking policies and economic strategy.

He previously served as Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (2016–2017), where he was instrumental in implementing monetary and exchange rate policies, promoting financial stability, and driving economic growth.

According to a statement from the Presidency, his deep understanding of Ghana’s financial system makes him well-positioned to lead the central bank. The government expects his leadership to contribute to the stability and resilience of the nation’s economy.

If approved, Dr. Asiamah will oversee key financial policies aimed at ensuring sustainable economic development, price stability, and financial sector reforms.
