The Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has begun consultations with key ministries on the government’s new economy transformational programme.

Dr Forson, accompanied by his deputy, the ministry's chief director and other senior officials, met with the minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, and officials of her ministry.

The engagement forms part of preparations for the programme, which seeks to move Ghana beyond economic stabilisation towards job creation, wealth generation and sustainable growth.

Presenting the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review, Dr Forson said: “Through the New Economy agenda that we will unveil, we will build an economy that does not merely withstand shocks but creates jobs, generates wealth and grows on the strength of what Ghana produces.”

He added: “Stabilisation was never the destination. It was the price of entry. Ghana has paid that price. What comes next is the work that changes lives at scale—the work of transformation.”

President John Dramani Mahama has since announced that the programme will involve a US$10 billion investment in key sectors of the economy.

The President said the full details of the transformational programme would be presented in the 2027 Budget in November.
