加纳银行于7月30日将基准货币政策利率下调300个基点至25%,理由是持续的通货紧缩、强劲的增长和更强的外部缓冲。6月份整体通胀率降至13.7%,为2021年12月以来的最低水平。经济活动依然强劲,2025年第一季度实际GDP增长5.3%,非石油GDP增长6.8%,这得益于农业和服务业的稳健增长。对外部门继续加强,2025年上半年临时贸易顺差为56亿美元,经常账户顺差为34亿美元,均大幅高于去年同期。截至6月底,国际储备总额增至111亿美元。今年迄今为止,塞地对美元升值了42.6%。尽管全球前景疲软,但央行注意到通胀预期普遍稳定,外部缓冲有所改善,国内信心不断增强,重申其致力于在不破坏近期收益的情况下支持复苏。
The Bank of Ghana cut its benchmark monetary policy rate by 300 bps to 25% on July 30, citing sustained disinflation, robust growth, and stronger external buffers. Headline inflation fell to 13.7% in June, the lowest level since December 2021. Economic activity remained strong, with real GDP expanding 5.3% in Q1 2025 and non-oil GDP rising 6.8%, supported by solid gains in agriculture and services. The external sector continued to strengthen, with a provisional trade surplus of $5.6 billion and a current account surplus of $3.4 billion in the first half of 2025, both sharply higher than a year earlier. Gross international reserves rose to $11.1 billion by the end of June. The cedi appreciated 42.6% year-to-date against the US dollar. Despite a weakening global outlook, the central bank noted broadly anchored inflation expectations, improved external buffers, and growing domestic confidence, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the recovery without undermining recent gains.
