President John Dramani Mahama has expressed astonishment at the swift turnaround of Ghana’s economy, describing the pace of recovery as far exceeding both his expectations and those of international observers.
Speaking at the First Sky Group Thanksgiving Service in the Northern Region on Sunday, January 25, he highlighted improvements in key indicators, including inflation dropping from 23.8% to 5.4% and the cedi appreciating by 37% within a year.
President Mahama attributed the gains to disciplined economic management, prudent policies, and divine intervention. He noted that when his Administration assumed office amid severe economic challenges, he anticipated at least two years before seeing tangible recovery.
The performance, he added, has attracted commendation from institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, positioning Ghana as a “poster child” for economic turnaround.
