President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering dedication to fostering a business-friendly atmosphere, positioning the private sector as the catalyst for Ghana’s economic transformation.
During a courtesy visit by the Ghana CEO Network to the Presidency, the President highlighted significant achievements in economic recovery, noting that Ghana’s GDP has increased to an estimated $114 billion, making the country the eighth-largest economy in Africa.
He credited this progress to fiscal discipline, minimizing waste, and renewed investor confidence, assuring business leaders of ongoing collaboration to maintain growth.
President Mahama emphasized the importance of the 24-Hour Economy Policy and the Accelerated Export Agenda, urging industry leaders to prioritize value addition and diversification over raw material exports.
He also mentioned that savings from fiscal reforms are being directed towards major initiatives such as the Big Push infrastructure programme, the Adwumawura entrepreneurship programme, and the Free Primary Healthcare Programme to enhance productivity and promote inclusive development.
The delegation, led by Ernest De-Graft Egyir, praised the government’s economic management and extended an invitation to President Mahama to be the Guest of Honour at the forthcoming Ghana CEO Summit on May 28, 2026.
