President Nana Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians that significant improvements in their quality of life and the state of the economy are imminent.
During a national address on Sunday night, President Akufo-Addo pledged his administration would diligently tackle Ghana’s economic challenges, drawing inspiration from the nation’s successful response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Just as we emerged from the unprecedented pandemic, where experts acknowledged the absence of clear-cut solutions, we persevered, remained focused, and worked tirelessly, united as a nation. With a similar mindset and determination, we will overcome our economic difficulties sooner rather than later,” the President declared.
Confident in the path they have chosen, President Akufo-Addo expressed his belief that Ghana will experience significant economic improvements and an enhanced standard of living.
The President emphasized that Ghana’s recent agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would restore confidence in the country’s economy. While acknowledging that the IMF agreement alone would not immediately resolve all existing challenges, President Akufo-Addo regarded it as a crucial step towards the right direction.
“While the IMF facility will not bring an immediate end to our current problems, it sends a positive message to our trading partners, creditors, and investors. This message will be reinforced by our discipline, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit in implementing the program,” President Akufo-Addo stated.
In his view, the IMF agreement will restore confidence, reopen closed avenues, and restart stalled infrastructure projects that had been hindered over the past year and a half.
