President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his administration’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment, positioning the private sector as the engine of Ghana’s economic transformation.
Speaking during a courtesy call by the Ghana CEO Network at the Presidency, he highlighted key gains in the country’s economic recovery. According to him, Ghana’s GDP has risen to an estimated $114 billion, making it the eighth-largest economy in Africa.
He attributed this progress to fiscal discipline, reduced waste, and renewed investor confidence, assuring business leaders of sustained collaboration to maintain growth.
President Mahama also emphasized the importance of flagship initiatives such as the 24-Hour Economy Policy and the Accelerated Export Agenda. He urged industry leaders to focus on value addition and economic diversification rather than relying heavily on raw material exports.
Additionally, he noted that savings from ongoing fiscal reforms are being reinvested into major national programmes, including the Big Push infrastructure initiative, the Adwumawura entrepreneurship programme, and the Free Primary Healthcare Programme—all aimed at boosting productivity and promoting inclusive development.
The delegation, led by Ernest De-Graft Egyir, commended the government’s economic management and invited the President to serve as Guest of Honour at the upcoming Ghana CEO Summit 2026 scheduled for May 28, 2026.
