Ghana’s economy on course for sustainable growth — Ato Forson to Investors

Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has given firm assurances to international investors that Ghana’s economy has turned a decisive corner and is steadily advancing toward sustained stability and growth.

Addressing a gathering of investors in Washington during the 2025 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, Dr. Forson said Ghana’s recovery journey is “on track and irreversible,” stressing that the government’s economic reforms are yielding tangible results across multiple sectors.

He noted that the country’s debt position has improved significantly, while key macroeconomic indicators such as inflation and fiscal balance continue to show strong progress. “We will sustain the gains and maintain fiscal discipline to secure the long-term future of the economy,” he said.

According to the Minister, Ghana’s ongoing structural and fiscal adjustments are being guided by a strategy focused on prudent expenditure management, domestic resource mobilisation, and private sector growth.

Dr. Forson projected that economic growth would strengthen in the final quarter of 2025, supported by a rebound in industrial activity and renewed investor confidence. Inflation, he added, is expected to remain in single digits by the end of the year — a reflection of the government’s consistent macroeconomic management.

He also revealed that Ghana is on course to achieve a primary surplus of 1.5% of GDP by year-end, marking a key milestone under the current fiscal consolidation programme.

Dr. Forson reaffirmed government’s commitment to accountability and transparency in public finance, assuring investors that Ghana’s economic outlook is not only stable but promising for both domestic and foreign investment.
