President John Dramani Mahama has expressed confidence that Ghana’s economic turnaround will earn global admiration by the end of 2026, saying the nation’s progress will draw applause from the international community.
Speaking on Ghana’s improving economic fortunes at the 23rd anniversary and thanksgiving service of First Sky Construction Company on Sunday, January 25, President Mahama said he was convinced the world would rise in a standing ovation as evidence of recovery and growth becomes more visible.
“I am sure by the end of 2026, the whole world will stand and be clapping for Ghana,” he said.
“In my own imagination, I thought that we would need about two years to begin to see a turnaround… but Ebenezer, this is how far God has brought us,” he added.
President Mahama highlighted the stability of the cedi and other macroeconomic fundamentals as proof of Ghana’s strengthening economic outlook.
“To bring inflation from 23.8 per cent to 5.4 per cent in one year—how did we manage that? For the first time, to see our long-suffering Ghanaian currency, the cedi, appreciate by 37 per cent in one year—it is only God, by His grace,” he stated.
He attributed the country’s rapid progress to divine intervention and effective leadership, noting that his government remains committed to sustaining the current momentum.
President Mahama also announced that his administration will continue to organise a national thanksgiving to honour God for the achievements recorded under his leadership and the nation’s development.
