  "summary": "The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of Ghana maintained the Monetary Policy Rate at 14 percent during its 132nd regular meeting held on September 23-24, 2026. The decision was made despite a recent increase in headline inflation and broadly balanced risks to inflation and economic growth. The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama, stated that the Committee viewed the balance of risks as broadly balanced, citing the resilience of the domestic economy and emerging risks from higher energy prices, global supply-chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions.",
