Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Finance Minister, has affirmed to international investors that the nation’s economy is steadily recovering and is headed toward sustainable growth and stability.
While addressing a full audience of investors in Washington on the sidelines of the 2025 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, Dr. Forson stated, “Ghana is on track. We will sustain the gains.” He emphasized that the country’s improvement is already visible through reduced debt vulnerabilities and stronger macroeconomic foundations—outcomes he attributes to the government’s targeted policy reforms.
He voiced deep confidence in the continued impact of structural and fiscal reforms intended to anchor long-term stability.
Looking ahead, Dr. Forson projected a notable economic rebound in the final quarter of the year, driven by a reinvigorated real sector. He also predicted further declines in inflation, expecting it to settle into single-digit territory by year’s end. Moreover, he reiterated the government’s commitment to achieving a positive primary balance amounting to 1.5 % of GDP by fiscal year’s end—an important milestone that would reinforce past fiscal gains.
He reaffirmed that the administration is determined to carry out fiscal consolidation via rigorous control over expenditure and prudent financial management.
