President John Dramani Mahama has said Ghana is on track to complete its International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by April 2026, following improvements in key economic indicators.
Speaking at the Ghana–Zambia Business Dialogue in Lusaka, Friday, February 6, he said inflation has eased, foreign reserves have improved and investor confidence is returning after recent fiscal reforms.
President Mahama noted that the stabilising economy positions Ghana to expand trade and investment, particularly under the African Continental Free Trade Area.
According to the President, inflation has declined significantly, international reserves have strengthened, and Ghana’s credit ratings have been upgraded — developments described as clear signals of renewed global confidence in the country’s economic management.
The President further disclosed that due to the gains recorded, Ghana remains on course to successfully conclude its International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by April 2026.
“We are on track to successfully conclude our IMF Programme by April 2026 demonstrating our firm commitment to fiscal sustainability, structural reform and long-term economic transformation,” he stated.
The President emphasised that the progress made so far provides a solid foundation for Ghana’s broader development agenda which is anchored on five strategic pillars: industrialisation and value addition, export-led growth, modern infrastructure development, strong support for small and medium-sized enterprises — particularly women and youth entrepreneurs — and the creation of a predictable, transparent, and investor-friendly business environment.
