Dr. Theo Acheampong, a Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, has expressed confidence in Ghana’s economic trajectory, noting that 2025 delivered positive outcomes for citizens and projecting stronger performance in 2026.
Appearing on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Monday, January 5, Dr. Acheampong said overall economic conditions had improved over the past year. He maintained that from his assessment, 2025 had been a beneficial period for many Ghanaians.
He linked the progress to fiscal and economic policies outlined in the 2025 Budget, together with deliberate government actions focused on restoring stability and stimulating growth. According to him, these interventions are gradually translating into real gains across the economy.
Dr. Acheampong also pointed to Ghana’s expected exit from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme around mid-year as a key milestone that could unlock further growth opportunities. He explained that greater policy space after the programme would allow government to implement additional measures to support expansion and enhance living conditions.
Looking ahead, he indicated that the outlook for 2026 remains encouraging, citing policy initiatives embedded in the budget and reforms planned following the IMF programme. He expressed the view that these factors position the economy for stronger performance in the coming year.
His comments signal sustained confidence within policy circles that Ghana is moving towards deeper economic stability and improved welfare for citizens.
