Ghana's economic recovery on track - Finance Minister tells global investors

Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has assured international investors that the country’s economy is firmly on a measurable path to recovery and is poised for sustained growth and stability.

Speaking to a packed audience of investors in Washington, D.C., on the sidelines of the 2025 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, Dr Forson declared that “Ghana is on track. We will sustain the gains.”

He underscored that the country’s economic turnaround is already evident in declining debt vulnerabilities and stronger macroeconomic fundamentals, clear indicators of the effectiveness of government policy interventions and reforms.

Dr Forson expressed strong optimism about the sustainability of ongoing structural and fiscal reforms, noting that these measures are designed to secure long-term macroeconomic stability.

Looking ahead, the finance minister highlighted that Ghana’s economic prospects remain positive.

He mentioned that growth is projected to rebound strongly in the final quarter of the year, driven by a revitalised real sector, while inflation, which has already declined significantly, is expected to ease further and remain in single digits by year-end.

He added that the government remains on course to achieve a positive primary balance of 1.5% of GDP by the close of the fiscal year, a milestone that will further consolidate the gains made under the ongoing fiscal reforms.

Dr Forson reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fiscal consolidation anchored on tight expenditure controls and prudent financial management.

Ghana’s economic recovery is firmly on track, and we will sustain the gains.

The progress we are seeing is the result of deliberate policy choices and decisive reforms, reflected in declining debt vulnerabilities and stronger macroeconomic fundamentals.
