The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has announced the launch of the beta version of its macroeconomic database, as part of what it describes as meeting data request demands from the public and researchers.
“The Beta Version of the Bank of Ghana Database Portal aims at providing a single environment for extracting and visualising macroeconomic data,” ” BoG said in a statement today, February 5.
“The provision of this portal is in line with international best practice and the Bank’s commitment to greater transparency associated with its inflation targeting framework of monetary policy,” it said further.
The portal covers data relating to five economic sectors only – external sector, financial sector, fiscal sector, monetary sector, and real sector and survey-based indicators, which is the sum of 255 monthly materials sourced from BoG and key stakeholders.
