Dr Theo Acheampong, Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, has expressed confidence that Ghana’s economy is on a firm upward trajectory.

He is projecting stronger outcomes in 2026 after what he described as a largely positive year for citizens in 2025.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Monday, January 5, Dr Acheampong said the economic experience of Ghanaians over the past year showed clear signs of improvement, arguing that conditions had stabilised and begun to deliver tangible benefits.

“If you were to ask me whether 2025 has been a good year for Ghanaians, my answer would be yes,” he remarked.

He attributed the positive momentum to government interventions captured in the national budget, as well as broader reforms designed to stabilise the economy, stimulate growth and improve living standards.

According to him, these policies have laid a solid foundation for sustained progress.

Looking ahead, Dr Acheampong said he expects 2026 to deliver even stronger economic outcomes, particularly as Ghana prepares to exit the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme around the middle of the year.

He noted that leaving the programme would create additional space for growth-oriented initiatives and expansion, reinforcing optimism about the country’s economic prospects in the year ahead.
