Joshua Hamidu Akamba has praised President John Dramani Mahama for his effective economic stewardship, highlighting significant improvements in Ghana’s macroeconomic performance.
Under Mahama’s leadership, the Ghanaian cedi has appreciated by approximately 40.7% against the US dollar, signaling strong currency stability. Inflation has sharply declined from 23.4% to just 3.3%, and the country’s GDP grew by an average of 6.1% in the first three quarters of 2025.
Economic analysts, including Fitch Solutions, have expressed confidence in Ghana’s resilience, citing robust export forex inflows and high gold prices as key factors. Akamba commended the President’s efforts to sustain these gains, emphasizing the importance of maintaining economic stability to protect against future shocks.
Additionally, Mahama’s administration announced progress in restructuring and settling a $1.7 billion debt owed to Independent Power Producers, further strengthening the country’s economic foundation.
