The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has launched the beta version of its macroeconomic database portal, which aims at providing a single environment for extracting and visualising macroeconomic data.
A statement issued by BoG on Monday (5 February) said the provision of the portal is in line with international best practice and the central bank’s commitment to greater transparency associated with its inflation targeting framework of monetary policy.
The portal will also help meet data request demands from the general public and support research work, it said.
According to the statement, 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,” it added.
The BoG said data updates and revisions will be done on the portal according to the data release calendar as published on the portal.
