President John Dramani Mahama has painted an optimistic picture of Ghana’s economic trajectory, declaring that the nation is steadily regaining its footing and preparing for a new phase of sustained growth.
Speaking before Parliament during his 2026 State of the Nation Address, the President recalled the challenging conditions under which his administration assumed office, describing an economy burdened by fiscal imbalances and shaken public confidence.
He told lawmakers that restoring order to public finances became an immediate priority, with spending controls and stricter budget management forming the backbone of the recovery strategy.
According to him, the Reset Agenda introduced by his government is beginning to show measurable impact, earning support across various sectors of the economy.
President Mahama said improved macroeconomic stability has revived confidence, encouraged private sector activity, and signalled that the country is once again an attractive destination for investment. He described the current moment as one of cautious optimism, with reforms starting to take root.
Detailing some of the corrective measures implemented, he highlighted stronger public financial oversight and efforts to clear outstanding obligations as steps that have restored credibility.
“We improved payable reporting and conducted a comprehensive audit of 2024 commitments to restore credibility and discipline. These measures have produced some of the most remarkable economic outcomes in decades. As we approach the celebration of our 69th Independence Anniversary, we do so not only with pride but also with renewed hope for the future.
“The Resetting Agenda is working. The Accra Reset is gaining momentum. Our nation is on the runway. We are in take-off mode, and you are all advised to fasten your seat belts,” he said.
The President framed the approaching 69th Independence Anniversary not only as a historical milestone but also as a symbolic marker of economic renewal, with government pledging to consolidate gains and sustain momentum in the months ahead.
