In Ghana, however, the evolution of the MPR since 1999 has revealed an intriguing correlation with political power shifts between the two major parties, NPP and NDC. This suggests that monetary policy not only influences the financial system but may also reflect broader political dynamics, particularly around election cycles and changes in government.
