President John Dramani Mahama has outlined Ghana’s economic recovery efforts and called for closer regional collaboration.
During his address to Zambia’s National Assembly on Thursday, February 5, 2026, Mahama explained that since returning to office in 2025, his administration has pursued pragmatic Reset Agenda aimed at economic recovery, macroeconomic stability, job creation, and inclusive growth.
“Since my return to office one year ago, my administration has been guided by a clear, pragmatic Reset Agenda focused on economic recovery, macroeconomic stability, job creation, and inclusive growth,” he told lawmakers.
The President highlighted key reforms, including fiscal discipline, digitalisation of public services, debt restructuring, and investment in skills for the future.
He pointed to tangible results, noting, “I am pleased to note that Ghana has made tangible progress. Inflation has declined sharply from over 23.4% at the end of 2024 to 3.8% in January 2026. Currency stability has been restored, with the Ghanaian cedi appreciating by 32% and ranking among the five best-performing currencies in 2025.”
Mahama also stressed the potential for regional cooperation, particularly between Ghana and Zambia.
He emphasized the complementarities of their economies in mining, agriculture, energy, and manufacturing, urging collaboration to promote joint ventures, value-chain development, and expanded bilateral trade.
