Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has lauded the achievements of the Economic Management Team (EMT) of the Mahama administration which he leads.
Ghana, which some few years ago under the previous Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration, was rated as a junk economy by several rating agencies, according to the Minister of Finance, is now back on track.
According to him, the prudent management of the economy with the fiscal policies adopted since the takeover from the erstwhile government has positioned the country at a place where it has become attractive to investors.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in London on Sunday, May 31, 2026, the Minister, who is also the Member of Parliament for Ajumako Enyan Essiam in the Central region, was confident that “our country is back.”
Listing some of the successes chalked by the EMT, Dr. Forson said the country currently rocks shoulders with the largest economies on the continent, due to the robust initiatives deployed by the Government.
“Today, Ghana is ranked the eighth largest economy in Africa,” he stated, highlighting on the current current Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which he assured was going to be sustained.
“Our GDP per capita is now $3,385 for the first time and our debt is now sustainable, unlike in the past. The gains made will be sustained,” he stated.
Dr. Forson was part of a delegation that accompanied President John Dramani Mahama to the U.K., where he is expected to hold a Breakfast Meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and pay a royal visit to King Charles III as part of the working visit.
