Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has attributed Ghana’s recent economic gains to fiscal discipline and sound policy decisions, not miracles.
Speaking at the 14th Ghana Economic Forum organised by the Business and Financial Times in Accra, she said the country’s recovery reflects deliberate policy measures, including tighter expenditure controls and responsible financial management, aimed at restoring stability and confidence.
“Short-term comfort should never come at the cost of long-term stability. That is why we are resetting our economy,” she stated.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang cautioned against complacency, noting that macroeconomic stability remains crucial for sustainable growth.
“When the cedi weakens, it is not only economists who feel the pain — every household suffers. These gains are not miracles, but the results of discipline. This is not the time to relax; it is a time for consolidation,” she said.
This year’s forum is themed: “Currency Stability – A Reset for Sustainable Economic Growth.”
