Chairman of the National Economic Dialogue Planning Committee, Dr. Ishmael Yamson, has hailed the recent sharp rebound of the Ghanaian cedi as a clear signal of the government’s renewed dedication to economic transformation.
Speaking during the official presentation of the committee’s final report to President John Dramani Mahama at Jubilee House on Wednesday, June 4, Dr. Yamson said the currency’s unexpected recovery has surprised skeptics and underscores the progress being made under the administration’s “Resetting Ghana” agenda.
“The recent rapid recovery of the cedi against major currencies has surprised many who doubted the government’s resolve to reset Ghana and its economy,” he remarked.
While recognizing lingering public doubts about the sustainability of the rebound—given Ghana’s history of economic instability—Dr. Yamson voiced confidence that the reforms underway are beginning to deliver real, lasting results.
“Your Excellency, we believe that the progress being made now is sustainable, and Ghana can build a macroeconomic environment that is stable and attractive to both local and foreign investors over the medium to long term,” he added.
Dr. Yamson emphasized the importance of consolidating current gains by addressing the root causes of macroeconomic volatility. He highlighted structural reforms in key sectors such as energy and cocoa as essential to driving sustainable growth.
“If executed expeditiously and with passion, these reforms should successfully create a stable and prosperous Ghana, unlike anything we have seen before,” he stated.
The final report of the National Economic Dialogue presents a strategic roadmap for building economic resilience and achieving inclusive growth. It reinforces the Mahama administration’s “Reset Agenda” in the face of both global headwinds and domestic challenges.
