BoG launches beta version of bank’s macroeconomic database portal
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has successfully launched the beta version of its database portal – the Bank of Ghana Database Portal.
The database portal according to the BoG in a statement issued on Monday, February 5, 2024, will provide a single environment for extracting and visualising macroeconomic data on Ghana.
The provision of the portal, the apex bank averred, is in line with international best practice and the Bank’s commitment to greater transparency associated with its inflation-targeting framework of monetary policy.
The portal, the Central Bank added, will also help meet data request demands from the general public and support research work.
The data contained in the portal is organised along five main economic sectors as follows:
▪ External Sector
▪ Financial Sector
▪ Fiscal Sector
▪ Monetary Sector
▪ Real Sector and Survey Based Indicators
The macroeconomic data is made up of 255 monthly and 86 quarterly time series data sourced from the BoG and other key stakeholder institutions.
