The 107th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee is to review developments in the economy and take the necessary steps to ensure financial and economic stability.

The Monetary Policy Rate is of keen interest to businesses, as it determines the rate at which the Bank of Ghana lends to commercial banks, and subsequently influences the interest rate on loans.
The Central Bank at its last MPC meeting in May, 2022 adjusted the rate upwards by 200 basis points to 19 percent.
Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Ernest Addison, noted that the risks to inflation are on the rise, thus the decision to address current inflationary pressures.
