Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has assured Ghanaians that the country's economic trajectory is on the right path and that conditions will continue to improve in the months ahead.
Delivering the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on Thursday, 24 July, Dr Forson expressed optimism about Ghana’s economic recovery and long-term stability.
“Things can only get better,” the Minister stated confidently, citing improvements in inflation, exchange rate stability, and growth figures as signs of a strengthening economy.
He explained that the government’s fiscal policies, coupled with renewed investor confidence, were already yielding tangible results for households and businesses.
Dr Forson highlighted key economic indicators including the sharp decline in inflation, the appreciation of the cedi, and higher-than-expected GDP growth in the first quarter of the year.
He said these achievements were the result of “prudent and disciplined” financial management, adding that the government remains committed to sustaining this momentum.
Reaffirming his ministry’s commitment to inclusive growth and economic transformation, the Minister urged Ghanaians to remain hopeful and resilient.
“We understand the challenges many are facing, but I want to assure the people of Ghana that we are on course, and with continued hard work and unity, better days surely lie ahead,” he concluded.
