Ghana’s Economy Stabilised, Investor Confidence Back – Ato Forson
Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has stated that Ghana’s economy is on a firm path to recovery following two years of sustained fiscal and monetary consolidation.
Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, Dr Forson said government’s efforts have restored macroeconomic stability, curbed inflation, stabilised the local currency, and rekindled investor confidence.
“We have restored fiscal discipline, brought inflation under control, stabilised the cedi, and rekindled investors’ confidence. This is not just a recovery—it’s a reset. This is a rebuilding from the ashes of daunting inheritance, a heavy burden laid on us by the previous administration,” the Finance Minister told Parliament.
Dr Forson emphasised that the administration remains committed to prudent management of public finances to safeguard the gains made under its stabilisation and recovery programme.
According to him, the 2026 Budget is designed to consolidate progress achieved over the past two years and anchor Ghana’s economic rebuilding process on growth, resilience, and investor confidence.
“This budget is about building on the foundation we have laid,” he said, adding that confidence in the economy is returning and the nation is regaining its strength.
“Confidence is returning, the Black Star is rising once more. Ghana is back, strong, and full of hope—and yes, our Black Stars are heading to the World Cup. The tide has finally turned, and Ghana’s economy has now recovered, marked by renewed investor confidence. Ghana’s economy has regained its rhythm,” he remarked.
Dr Forson maintained that government will continue to pursue policies aimed at maintaining stability and fostering inclusive growth across key sectors of the economy.
