He said this during a durbar of chiefs and people at the Wa Jubilee Park as part of his thank-you tour in the Upper West Region on Thursday, May 15, following his resounding victory in the 2024 general elections.
Mahama praised the level of collaboration between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, describing it as a key factor behind recent signs of economic stabilization.
“I wish to commend the Honorable Minister of Finance, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, and their teams for the close collaboration and coordination they are demonstrating in this economic turnaround,” Mahama stated.
The President expressed optimism about the trajectory of the economy, indicating that further positive developments are expected in the coming months.
“I am confident that by the time the Honorable Minister returns to Parliament to present his mid-year budget review in August, we will have even more good news for Ghanaians,” he added.
Mahama’s remarks come amid growing public and political interest in Ghana’s economic outlook as the Ghanaian cedi continues to appreciate. Recent indicators have shown signs of improvement, prompting renewed confidence among policymakers and financial institutions.
