Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has told the new governing board of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) that the success or otherwise of this government depends to a large extent, on the performance of the Central Bank.
She said the President's social contract with the people of Ghana to reset, rebuild and restore public trust and macro-economic stability, through responsive financial sector governance and sound economic policies rests on the shoulders of the Board, in equal manner as the Cabinet, the Minister for Finance and all other key stakeholders.
The vice president said this when she swore into office the board on Thursday, March 13 at the headquarters of the central bank in Accra. "Your diverse backgrounds as public sector and private sector operators have equipped you with the required attitude and perspectives; to offer the dynamic and inspirational leadership the Bank of Ghana requires at this critical period with significant challenges in our economy," she said.
She further stated that the Bank presently requires dynamic and innovative leadership to provide the public services it is known for, and ultimately to restore and enhance the trust of the public and stakeholders in the Bank. "I am convinced that you will bring your individual and collective expertise to the governance of the Bank, to ensure that the President's economic agenda of resetting the country is achieved.
