His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, visited Bank Square, the head office of the Bank of Ghana on Wednesday, 7 January 2026.
Accompanied by over 20 paramount and divisional chiefs, he was warmly welcomed by Governor Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama and Bank officials.
The Asantehene praised the Bank’s edifice as “a monument to our generation” and urged management to inspire staff to match its grandeur.
He emphasised the Bank’s influence on Ghana’s economic fortunes and encouraged it to take measures to keep the country on track, “but we have come to listen, not preach.”
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II advocated for lower interest rates to boost domestic growth and investment and appealed for the central bank’s independence to be respected.
Governor Dr. Asiama commended the Asantehene’s leadership, citing his wisdom and stability in national matters.
Dr. Asiama outlined the Bank’s vision:
“Ghana’s recovery must now move beyond better statistics to better livelihoods. It must translate into jobs for the youth, stronger local industry, affordable credit that does not reignite inflation, and a financial system that supports enterprise and long-term investment. The Bank of Ghana is fully committed to playing its role, firmly, independently, and professionally, so that the gains we are beginning to see become durable and inclusive.”
