Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has declared that the Mahama administration has, within just 200 days in office, succeeded in restoring Ghana’s economic stability, policy clarity, and investor confidence.
Presenting the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on Thursday, July 24, Dr. Forson pointed to what he described as swift and deliberate interventions by the new government that are already yielding tangible results.
“In less than 200 days, we have brought back clarity, certainty, stability and purpose to our economic policy in the nation,” he told Parliament.
According to the Minister, the recovery is not abstract or limited to statistical projections, but is already being felt by ordinary Ghanaians, businesses, and the investment community.
“We have made significant progress and the signs of recovery are obvious, evident, noticeable and visible, tangible — and they are being felt,” Dr. Forson said.
His remarks come on the back of notable improvements in key macroeconomic indicators, including a sharp drop in inflation, a resurgent cedi, rising international reserves, and better-than-expected GDP growth in the first quarter of 2025.
The Minister’s presentation sought to reaffirm the government’s commitment to sustaining economic momentum through prudent fiscal management, enhanced transparency, and targeted social and infrastructure investments.
