Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, says Ghana’s economic stability must lead to increased investment, job creation and broader opportunities for citizens.
Speaking during an engagement with an IMF delegation, Dr Forson reflected on Ghana’s recovery since the 2022 economic crisis, describing the journey as “long, demanding, but ultimately transformative.”
According to him, the partnership between the government and the IMF has produced significant outcomes, helping to stabilise the economy, restore credibility and renew hope among Ghanaians.
He expressed appreciation to the IMF on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama and the people of Ghana, noting that the progress achieved so far has been driven by discipline and difficult policy decisions taken in the national interest.
While acknowledging the gains made under the programme, Dr Forson stressed that government remains focused on sustaining the recovery and consolidating the progress achieved.
He said the next phase of the programme would prioritise policies aimed at unlocking private sector growth and ensuring that macroeconomic stability delivers real benefits to citizens.
“We must ensure that stability translates into more investment, more jobs, and more opportunities for all,” he stated.
Dr Forson added that the true measure of Ghana’s recovery goes beyond favourable economic indicators and must be reflected in improved living conditions for the people.
