Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has reaffirmed government’s commitment to maintaining economic stability and building local capacity as Ghana’s recovery gains momentum.
Speaking at the 14th Ghana Economic Forum in Accra, held under the theme “Currency Stability – A Reset for Sustainable Economic Growth,” the Vice President noted that Ghana’s inflation rate currently stands at 9.4 percent, describing it as “a clear sign of growing stability in the national economy.”
She revealed that the country’s gold reserves have multiplied, significantly strengthening Ghana’s financial position. According to her, initiatives such as the Bank of Ghana’s care policy and the Gold Board programme have been pivotal in restoring investor confidence.
“Investors are returning, with renewed confidence from home and abroad,” she said, adding that government remains focused on empowering small businesses and the youth to drive innovation and productivity across key sectors.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang stressed that stability “isn’t a gift, but a sign of discipline,” urging stakeholders to sustain the hard-won gains through accountability and prudent management.
She further called for greater investment in local capacity and a firm commitment to national dignity, cautioning against “trading away Ghana’s self-respect or productive potential” in the pursuit of short-term gains.
The 14th edition of the Ghana Economic Forum brought together policymakers, business leaders, and industry experts to discuss strategies for ensuring sustained growth through monetary stability and structural reforms.
