President John Mahama says Ghana\u2019s economy is beginning to show signs of recovery, thanks to decisive policy reforms and fiscal discipline initiated by his administration.
\nSpeaking during his Thank You Tour in the Upper West Region, President Mahama highlighted a stabilising cedi and a gradual drop in the cost of living as early indicators of progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal work begins now, and I\u2019m here not just to say thank you but to reassure you that your voice has been heard,\u201d the President said. \u201cYour vote has a purpose, and that purpose is to bring development to the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

He credited the improvement in economic indicators to tough policy choices made in the early months of his administration and pointed to the 2024 budget as a turning point.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince taking over the reins of government, our focus has been on stabilising the economy. We therefore presented to Parliament in March this year a budget aimed at severely trimming expenditure and channelling the saved revenue into priority programmes, as promised in our manifesto,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to report that our efforts to stabilise the economy have begun to yield results. This is evident in the improved performance of our local currency and the gradual reduction in prices of goods and services in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President praised his economic management team, particularly the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, for what he described as \u201cclose collaboration and coordination\u201d in steering the recovery.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cI wish to commend the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, along with their teams, for the coordination they are displaying in this economic turnaround,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cI\u2019m sure that by the time the Honourable Minister returns to Parliament in August for the mid-year review, we\u2019ll have even more good news for Ghanaians.\u201d<\/div>\n
