Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has assured international partners and investors that Ghana is back, strong, credible, and open for business.
According to him, the story of Ghana is no longer one of crisis but of recovery and renewal. He argues the reforms undertaken so far are not quick fixes; they are the foundations of a resilient, competitive, and inclusive economy.
Delivering the 2026 Budget in Parliament, Dr Ato Forson stated that the Mahama Administration is not just stabilising an economy; it is rebuilding a nation.
“To our international partners and investors, Ghana is back, strong, credible, and open for business.”
He further mentioned that, through the Big Push Programme, the government is connecting regions with modern infrastructure through the Agricultural Transformation Programme.
“We are turning our farmers into wealth creators; through the 24 Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, we are building a productive, export-led economy that never sleeps.”
He, however, pledged the government’s commitment to fiscal discipline while consolidating stability and ensuring that no Ghanaian is left behind.
“Our commitment to fiscal discipline, social equity, and sustainable growth remains firm. We will protect the gains we have made, 1202. Mr. Speaker, this budget is more than numbers, it is a message of hope.”
Dr. Ato Forson disclosed that the storm has passed, and the foundation is firm.
“The storm has passed. The foundation is firm. The horizon is bright. Together, under the visionary leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, the nation builder, we are building The Ghana We Want,” he added.
