BoG signals end of disinflation, puts inflation risks under spotlight

Johnson Asiama, says the country's prolonged period of disinflation has come to an end, with the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) now assessing whether the recent rise in inflation is temporary or signals a more persistent shift in the inflation outlook.

Asiama said the committee's key task this week is to determine whether the recent increase in inflation represents a normal return towards the central bank's target range or the start of a more sustained inflationary trend.

Despite the increase, he noted that inflation remains below the Bank of Ghana's target band of 8 percent, plus or minus two percentage points, and well below the 13.
