In this role, Dr Addison will lead four CID student seminar sessions in October, drawing on his eight-year tenure as Governor and his experience managing major economic shocks that affected Ghana during his time at the central bank. The sessions will examine the macroeconomic policies that supported periods of high economic growth, as well as the financial sector clean-up undertaken under his leadership, and discuss Ghana’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic impact of the Russia-Ukraine war.",
