President-elect John Dramani Mahama has outlined stabilising the Ghanaian currency as his top priority once power is smoothly transferred.

He stressed his commitment to tackling the country’s economic challenges, including inflation and the depreciation of the cedi, which he acknowledged have severely affected the lives of many citizens.

In a recent statement, Mahama expressed confidence that his administration would employ effective strategies to foster economic growth, reduce inflation, and stabilise the national currency.

He also emphasised the importance of strengthening Ghana’s international relations, particularly with key economic partners.

Mahama made these remarks during a visit from the Algerian Ambassador to Ghana, Mourad Louhaidia, who had come to congratulate him.

During their meeting, Mahama stated, “We are focusing on bringing Ghana back in terms of economic growth, stabilising the currency, and reducing inflation. This is a critical moment for Ghana to work more closely with its partners, including China.”

Looking ahead, Mahama reiterated that once the transition process is completed, his government would prioritise engaging China on technical cooperation matters, signalling his intent to swiftly mobilise a delegation to begin these crucial discussions.
