Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has assured investors and financial stakeholders that the country’s economic fundamentals are strengthening, as he hosted the nation’s first investor town hall engagement since 2021. The event brought together bankers, bond market specialists, and investors to reaffirm confidence in Ghana’s recovery trajectory.
Dr. Forson highlighted key indicators of progress, noting that inflation has dropped to 3.3 percent, economic growth is rebounding, and fiscal consolidation is firmly back on track with a primary surplus achieved. “Discipline is delivering results, and Ghana’s economy is firmly on the right path,” he told participants.
The Minister emphasized that Ghana has maintained a strong post-Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) track record, meeting all debt obligations, securing International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme milestones, and restoring investor confidence. He outlined clear and achievable targets for 2026, stressing proactive debt management strategies, including building sinking fund buffers, smoothing maturities, and deepening transparency in the domestic bond market.
“Our message is simple: the fundamentals are strengthening, and we are committed to sustaining this momentum,” Dr. Forson said, underscoring that Ghana’s economic recovery is not only on course but also gaining credibility among investors.
