President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment, positioning the private sector as central to Ghana’s economic transformation.
Speaking during a courtesy call by the Ghana CEO Network at the Presidency, he underscored the role of businesses in sustaining economic recovery and driving long-term growth.
President Mahama noted that Ghana’s GDP has risen to an estimated $114 billion, making it the eighth-largest economy in Africa. He attributed the progress to fiscal discipline, reduced waste, and improved investor confidence.
He emphasized that policies such as the 24-Hour Economy and the Accelerated Export Agenda are designed to boost productivity and reduce reliance on raw material exports.
“Our focus is to ensure growth translates into real opportunities for businesses and individuals,” he indicated.
Investment in Key National Programmes
The President revealed that savings from fiscal reforms are being reinvested into strategic initiatives, including the Big Push infrastructure programme, the Adwumawura entrepreneurship programme, and the Free Primary Healthcare Programme.
These interventions, he said, are aimed at enhancing productivity and promoting inclusive development across sectors.
The delegation, led by Ernest De-Graft Egyir, praised the government’s economic management and extended an invitation to the President to attend the upcoming Ghana CEO Summit on May 28, 2026.
The engagement reflects ongoing collaboration between government and the private sector to sustain Ghana’s growth trajectory.
