The President John Dramani Mahama government has rallied Ghanaians to remain resolute and have confidence in the country’s economic recovery efforts, assuring better standards of living ahead.
The Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, during the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Statement presentation to Parliament, last week, expressed optimism about the future of the Ghanaian economy, noting that ongoing reforms are laying the foundation for sustained growth, job creation, and renewed investor confidence.
However, the Minister acknowledged that, while Ghana is not yet fully recovered from its economic challenges, there are clear signs of progress.
“Mr. Speaker, as we look forward, more jobs will be created, confidence will deepen, and the Ghanaian economy will stand tall again—not just in the sub-region, but on the global stage,” he said.
“To do this, Mr. Speaker, we must stay united as a people and eschew divisiveness. We must continue to have faith in our country, Ghana!”
Dr Ato Forson appreciated the sacrifices made by various segments of society during recent economic challenges including businesses and ordinary citizens.
“We understand businesses went through some sacrifices during the turbulent economic challenges, but so did the ordinary Ghanaian,” he noted.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to pursuing inclusive growth strategies and policies that would ensure shared prosperity for all Ghanaians.
Dr Ato Forson further reechoed the scale of the crisis inherited by the current administration but assured Ghanaians that recovery efforts are yielding results.
“Mr. Speaker, there is still more work to be done. President Mahama is determined to deliver,” he declared while blending optimism with realism as he warned against premature celebration.
“We are not out of the woods! It will be premature to make that pronouncement,” he said.
With a firm commitment to stabilising the economy, the government says it is focused on restoring investor confidence, protecting livelihoods, and laying the foundation for long-term growth.
“Insha Allah, President John Mahama will deliver” the Finance Minister added.
