Partner for Deal Advisory at KPMG Ghana, Evans Asare, has called for stronger collaboration between government and the private sector to address economic challenges and unlock investment opportunities in Ghana.

He said the country’s economic progress would depend on how well policymakers align their decisions with the needs of businesses and investors, particularly as technology continues to reshape the global economy.

Speaking at the 15th Ghana Economic Forum (GEF) on Tuesday November 11, 2026, where he presented an economic outlook following the Bank of Ghana’s product briefing, Asare said Ghana’s current economic position was influenced not only by decisions made in the past but also by changes in the global environment.

“Where we are as a country today is not just a result of our past actions. It is also a response to where the world is today and what it demands,” he said.

He noted that technology is changing economies at a rapid pace, creating new opportunities as well as risks that Ghana must be prepared to manage.

Asare stressed that investment in capital, infrastructure and policy would only deliver real value when they translated into stronger businesses, job creation and improved living conditions.

“Capital is ultimately about more than finance. Infrastructure is about more than what we build, and policy is about more than what we write,” he stated.

According to him, the real value of these investments lies in the businesses they support, the jobs they create and the opportunities they make possible for people.

He said the Ghana Economic Forum had an important role to play in connecting the country’s economic ambitions with practical action by bringing together policymakers, business leaders and investors.

“The challenges facing our economy are interconnected, and progress will depend on stronger alignment between public policy and the realities facing businesses and investors,” he said.

Asare added that closer cooperation among stakeholders would be necessary to reduce barriers to trade, attract sustainable investment and help Ghana take greater control of its digital future.

He said KPMG remained committed to working with government and other stakeholders to develop practical solutions that would support Ghana’s economic growth.

“The opportunities are immense, and we remain committed to working with all stakeholders as we collectively shape that future for the better,” he added.
