Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has highlighted significant progress made by the government in stabilising and rebuilding the Ghanaian economy.
Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, Dr. Forson said the administration has restored fiscal discipline, curbed inflation, stabilised the cedi, and renewed investor confidence.
He described the government’s economic strategy as more than a recovery, calling it a “reset” and a “rebuilding process” following the challenges inherited from the previous administration.
“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. It is a rebuilding from the ashes of a daunting inheritance, a heavy burden laid on us by the previous administration,” Dr. Forson stated.
He assured Parliament that the government remains committed to prudent fiscal management and to safeguarding the gains achieved so far.
According to Dr. Forson, confidence in Ghana’s economy is steadily returning, with clear signs of renewed strength and optimism.
“Confidence is returning, the Black Star is rising once more. Ghana is back, strong and full of hope. The tide has finally turned, and Ghana’s economy has now recovered, marked by renewed investor confidence. Our economy has regained its rhythm,” he told Parliament.
“This budget is about building on the foundation we have laid,” he added.
