The Bank of Ghana has assured investors of its resolve to contain fiscal pressures that may arise as the country prepares for this year\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n

According to the central bank, its commitment is to attract investments and propel economic growth.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the central bank\u2019s resolve, the First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Millison Narh also explained to\u00a0Citi Business News<\/strong> the matter dominated concerns during government\u2019s road show for the fifth Eurobond.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we went round on the road show, the questions that kept coming up centered on the guarantee that we are not going to go back to high budget deficits and interest rates that had characterized past election cycles,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Millison Narh added, \u201cBut our response and assurance were that things have changed this time round and that we as the central bank are working to,\u201d<\/p>\n

President John Mahama has on several occasions, stressed on his administration\u2019s resolve not to yield to election pressures such as demands from labour agitations and other government expenditure.<\/p>\n

Government has been unable to meet its budget deficit target for some time now.<\/p>\n

The figure has however declined from double digits to about 5.4 percent.<\/p>\n

The First Deputy Governor is also confident that interim monetary policy measures put in place will culminate in reducing inflation and interest rates within the short to medium terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we speak, the cedi has stabilized and I believe that in the very near future, we shall succeed in bringing down the inflation to the envisioned single digit,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
