Mahama Receives Final Report from National Economic Dialogue Committee
The seven-member National Economic Dialogue Planning Committee, chaired by economist Dr. Ishmael Yamson, has presented its final report to President John Dramani Mahama.
The presentation took place on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at the Presidency as part of President Mahama’s 120-day Social Contract with Ghanaians. The National Economic Dialogue, a major event under this contract, was held from March 3 to 4 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The forum brought together a diverse range of stakeholders, including the private sector, civil society organisations, traditional authorities, and academia, to discuss pathways to economic recovery and transformation.
Upon receiving the report, President Mahama expressed appreciation to all stakeholders who contributed to the dialogue process. He particularly praised the inclusive nature of the discussions and the patriotic commitment shown by participants, emphasising that the final report reflects a strong national consensus on the way forward.
“Let me commend the planning committee and all the stakeholders, institutions in the private sector, trade unions, think tanks, civil society organisations, youth leaders and our international partners who participated in the dialogue process with candour, technical depth, and a sense of patriotism. Your contribution to the success of the dialogue is invaluable.
“The final report presented today reflects consensus on what needs to be done to stabilise our economy, restore investor confidence, and put our country on a path of inclusive and resilient growth,” he added.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to establish an inter-ministerial implementation committee to coordinate the rollout of recommendations from the recently submitted National Economic Dialogue report.
