President John Dramani Mahama has confirmed that Ghana is on course to complete its International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by April 2026, citing improvements in key economic indicators.

Speaking at the Ghana–Zambia Business Dialogue in Lusaka on Friday, 6 February, the President highlighted easing inflation, strengthened foreign reserves, and renewed investor confidence following recent fiscal reforms as evidence of the country’s stabilising economy.

“These gains provide a solid foundation for Ghana’s development agenda, which focuses on five strategic pillars: industrialisation and value addition; export-led growth; modern infrastructure development; strong support for MSMEs, women, and youth entrepreneurs; and a predictable, transparent, investor-friendly business environment,” he said.

President Mahama emphasised that the economic improvements position Ghana to expand trade and investment opportunities, particularly within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

His remarks underline the government’s commitment to reinforcing macroeconomic stability and creating an environment conducive to sustainable growth, signalling confidence in Ghana’s ability to achieve fiscal and developmental objectives in the coming months.
