President John Dramani Mahama has appointed economist Kwame Pianim, former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and industrialist Sir Samuel Esson Jonah as members of the newly constituted Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy (PAGE).
The advisory body, which is chaired by President Mahama himself, forms part of the government’s broader Reset Agenda aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and accelerating inclusive, job-rich economic growth.
In a statement on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the Presidency said the establishment of PAGE reflects the President’s commitment to sound economic governance and evidence-based decision-making.
“The establishment of PAGE reflects the President’s resolve to draw on deep national and international expertise to support sound economic governance, strategic policy coordination, and evidence-based decision-making to navigate current economic challenges and position Ghana for sustained growth and resilience,” the statement said.
According to the statement, PAGE will provide independent, non-partisan and strategic economic advice to the President, with particular focus on macroeconomic management, fiscal consolidation, debt sustainability and coherence between fiscal and monetary policy.
The Group is also expected to guide the implementation of key government initiatives, including the 24-Hour Economy and the Accelerated Export Development Programme.
“The Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy shall serve as a high-level advisory body to the President,” the statement noted, adding that the Group will “report directly to the President and shall submit advisory memoranda and briefs as and when requested by the President.”
The inclusion of Mr. Pianim, Dr. Duffuor and Sir Sam Jonah brings together extensive experience from economic policy, central banking and private-sector leadership as the government pursues its economic recovery agenda.
