- Ghana is progressing steadily toward completing its IMF programme by April 2026
- Inflation is easing while foreign reserves continue to strengthen
- Recent fiscal reforms have restored investor confidence
President John Dramani Mahama has announced that Ghana remains on track to conclude its International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by April 2026, pointing to positive trends in major economic indicators.
Addressing participants at the Ghana–Zambia Business Dialogue in Lusaka on Friday, February 6, he noted that inflation is declining, foreign reserves have improved, and investor confidence has rebounded as a result of recent fiscal reforms.
He emphasized that the ongoing economic stabilisation creates opportunities for increased trade and investment, especially within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
According to Mahama, these advances underpin Ghana’s development strategy, which is built around five key priorities: industrialisation and value addition; export-driven growth; modern infrastructure development; targeted support for MSMEs, women, and youth entrepreneurs; and the promotion of a stable, transparent, and investor-friendly business climate.
