  1. Minority says BoG policy worsened losses to GH¢44 billion

    The Minority Caucus in Parliament released an analysis of the Bank of Ghana's 2025 audited financial statements, arguing that bad policy decisions significantly worsened the central bank's financial position, partly contributing to an estimated underlying loss of about GH¢44 billion. Although the BoG officially reported a headline loss of GH¢15.6 billion, the Minority argues this figure understates the true economic cost when additional losses in Other Comprehensive Income and one-off gains from gold sales are adjusted for.

The Majority caucus rejects this as a misreading of the financial statements and says the Minority is creating unnecessary public alarm.
