BoG holds policy rate at 28% to tame inflation risks amid cedi gains [DP]

Industry players and sections of the private sector had hoped for a modest rate cut but the BoG is of the view the inflation outlook remains uncertain and requires a tight policy posture to safeguard recent macroeconomic gains.
