Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has assured international investors that Ghana’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, improved investor confidence, and stronger macroeconomic fundamentals, reflecting the effectiveness of government’s policy interventions and reforms.
Dr. Forson expressed strong optimism about the sustainability of Ghana’s structural and fiscal reforms, noting that they are designed to secure long-term macroeconomic stability and growth.
He said Ghana’s economic prospects remain positive, with growth projected to rebound strongly in the final quarter of the year, driven by a revitalized real sector. Inflation, which has already seen significant declines, is expected to ease further and remain in single digits by year-end.
The Finance minister also revealed that 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 ongoing fiscal reforms.
Dr. Forson reaffirmed government’s commitment to prudent financial management and tight expenditure controls to sustain the reform momentum.
