Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has declared that Ghana has pulled itself out of the worst and most painful economic crisis in its history.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Dr. Forson said stability has been restored and confidence, both from investors and the public, is back.
“Ghana has made significant gains and has emerged from the worst and the most painful economic crisis in our history. Stability has been achieved, and confidence is back,” he said.
Dr. Forson made the remarks while presenting the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, which sets out government’s next phase of economic management.
That next phase will be driven by a US$10 billion New Economy programme, running from 2027 to 2030.
The four year plan is expected to push investment into key areas of the economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, critical minerals, and tourism.
Government says the goal is to grow local production, add more value to what Ghana produces, and create jobs for Ghanaians.
Dr. Forson said the progress so far shows the measures taken to fix the economy are working, and the country is now ready to move from recovery to transformation.
