Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has said that the Bank of Ghana (BoG) 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.
She told the new governing board of the central bank that the success or otherwise of this government depends to a large extent, on the performance of the Central Bank.
The Vice President 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. "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.
As good corporate governance requires of all new Boards, I urge you to examine the existing policies of the Bank to ensure that such policies are aligned with leading contemporary policies and more importantly, that it is aligned to Government's social contract with the people of Ghana.
