The Government of Ghana and its partners, including the Private Sector, Civil Society Organisations, Traditional Authorities, and Academia convened for the National Economic Dialogue (NED), under the distinguished patronage of H.E. John Dramani Mahama and H.E. Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang from 3rd to 4th March, 2025 at Accra International Conference Centre: Profoundly appreciate the presence and active participation of the high-level panel discussants, Chairpersons, Presenters of Technical Issue Papers, as well as well-meaning Ghanaians from industry, academia, think tanks and policy makers during the Dialogue. Note and commend the spirited nature of the discussions that characterised the NED and urge continued engagement to underpin constructive economic policy and implementation of home-grown progressive and responsive policies in Ghana. Acknowledge that the Ghanaian economy is in crises and continues to face multiple risks and vulnerabilities. We recognise that the macroeconomy remains fragile with significant risks from State-Owned Enterprises, particularly the energy and cocoa sectors that continue to undermine fiscal and debt sustainability. Additionally, we note the impact of long-standing structural deficiencies and challenging financial conditions that threaten macroeconomic stability. Consistent with the theme – “Resetting Ghana – Building the Economy we want together” – we reiterate the conviction that Ghana can build resilience for economic growth and transformation for this and future generations by pursuing a path of inclusive dialogues and implementing targeted home-grown measures. Strongly support Government’s commitment to inclusive development and call for the timely, effective and full implementation of the proposed interventions from this Dialogue to enable Ghana to revive and revitalize the economy. 2
