The Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Johnson Asiama, has revealed that Ghana’s trade surplus has increased to $6.2 billion for the first eight months of this year.

According to him, “this was underpinned by robust gold exports and higher cocoa receipts.”

The Bank of Ghana Governor disclosed this when he opened the 126th Monetary Policy Committee meeting today, 15th September 2025.

Dr. Asiama also stated that, despite seasonal pressure on the cedi and moderation in remittance inflows in recent weeks, the country’s International Gross Reserve stood at US$10.7 billion in August, covering approximately 4½ months of imports.
