Ghana Restores Economic Confidence in Under 200 Days – Finance Minister Ato Forson

Ghana’s Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has declared that the government has successfully restored economic confidence within just 200 days of taking office. This statement was made during the presentation of the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Thursday, July 24.

Dr. Forson credited the economic revival to swift, deliberate, and well-targeted policy measures. He stated that these interventions have not only improved the macroeconomic outlook but have also begun to influence real change on the ground. His message aimed to reassure both citizens and the business community that Ghana’s economy is back on a path to stability.

“In less than 200 days, we have brought back clarity, certainty, stability and purpose to our economic policy,” Dr. Forson confidently told lawmakers. He framed the government’s actions as a strategic reset that replaced prior uncertainty with measurable progress and renewed investor trust.

The Finance Minister stressed that the progress is not merely on paper. According to him, signs of economic recovery are already visible to citizens, businesses, and investors. These tangible improvements, he argued, prove that the country is on a solid trajectory toward long-term economic resilience.

As the government positions itself for the second half of the fiscal year, this declaration sets the tone for policy continuity and fiscal discipline. The Mid-Year Budget Review is expected to provide a clearer outlook on public spending, debt management, and growth strategies, all aimed at sustaining this momentum.
