President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his administration’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment, positioning the private sector as the engine of Ghana’s economic transformation.
This came during a courtesy call by members of the Ghana CEO Network at the Presidency, where the President outlined key progress in the country’s economic recovery.
He disclosed that Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has risen to an estimated $114 billion, making the country the eighth-largest economy in Africa.
President Mahama attributed the gains to fiscal discipline, reduced waste, and renewed investor confidence, assuring business leaders of government’s readiness to sustain collaboration with the private sector.
He emphasised the significance of flagship initiatives such as the 24-Hour Economy Policy and the Accelerated Export Agenda, urging industry players to focus on value addition and diversification rather than exporting raw materials.
According to the President, savings from ongoing fiscal reforms are being redirected into major development programmes, including the Big Push infrastructure initiative, the Adwumawura entrepreneurship programme, and the Free Primary Healthcare Programme.
He noted that these interventions are aimed at boosting productivity and ensuring inclusive economic growth.
Leader of the delegation, Ernest De-Graft Egyir, commended the government for its economic management and extended an invitation to President Mahama to serve as Guest of Honour at the upcoming Ghana CEO Summit 2026 scheduled for May 28, 2026.
