Ghana’s Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced that the country is making steady progress toward debt sustainability, marking a key milestone in its ongoing economic recovery.
He indicated that Ghana is now transitioning from a phase of economic stabilisation to one focused on growth and expansion, reflecting improved macroeconomic conditions.
The remarks followed high-level talks with Ousmane Diagana of the World Bank, held on the sidelines of the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C. The engagement signals renewed confidence among international partners in Ghana’s economic direction.
According to Dr Forson, upcoming collaboration will focus on key sectors to drive productivity and job creation, including commercial agriculture and agribusiness, energy development—particularly gas-to-power and gas-to-fertiliser initiatives, education and human capital development, and infrastructure to enhance the movement of goods.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline while pursuing growth-oriented investments and protecting vulnerable populations, adding that continued support from the World Bank will be critical as Ghana works toward a more resilient and inclusive economy.
