  "account": "The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has kept its Monetary Policy Rate at 14% following a meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). The decision was announced by Governor Dr. Johnson Asiama at a press conference after the 132nd MPC meeting in Accra. The reasoning behind maintaining the rate was based on a thorough assessment of risks to inflation and economic growth, considering both global and domestic factors.\n\nThe committee acknowledged persistent global uncertainties, including inflationary pressures and strong domestic economic activity. They also noted the improvement in macroeconomic conditions before deciding to keep the policy rate unchanged. Dr. Asiama emphasized that global economic activity remained robust in the first half of 2026, driven by significant investment in artificial intelligence and a less severe impact of energy shocks than initially feared. Nevertheless, he warned that geopolitical tensions could potentially weaken global growth prospects in the medium term.\n\nGlobal inflationary pressures have risen since the last MPC meeting, primarily due to higher energy costs, with crude oil prices surpassing $100 per barrel. Climate conditions have added another layer of uncertainty to the inflation outlook, with expectations of a strong rebound in the last quarter of the year.",
