The President, John Dramani Mahama, has highlighted Ghana’s recent economic recovery on the global stage, citing sharp improvements in inflation and currency stability within just eight months of his administration.
Delivering his address at the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 25, 2025, President Mahama said his government’s “Reset Agenda” has already begun to yield tangible results.
“In just eight months, we have achieved a significant reduction in inflation from 23.8% in December 2024 to 11.5% in August 2025, restoring price stability for our citizens,” he stated.
He explained that the agenda, aimed at restructuring Ghana’s economic foundation, has also led to renewed investor confidence and a stronger performance of the Ghana cedi, which Bloomberg recently ranked as the best-performing currency globally at one point.
The President stressed that beyond stabilizing the macroeconomy, initiatives such as the government’s 24-hour economy policy are designed to create sustainable jobs and position Ghana as a competitive player in the global market.
Mr. Mahama tied Ghana’s domestic progress to a broader call for global reforms, urging the UN to also embark on its own “Reset Agenda” to reflect the realities of today’s world.
“Our people now have a renewed willingness to trust that their elected officials have Ghana’s interest at heart and that we are progressing together,” he added.
