He made the remarks during an engagement with international investors on the sidelines of the 2026 International Monetary Fund\/World Bank Group Spring Meetings in Washington.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowth has exceeded expectations, driven by strong performance in services and agriculture, while inflation continues to decline steadily, supported by tight monetary policy, fiscal consolidation, and a strengthening Cedi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are not cosmetic gains. They are outcomes of well\u2010thought\u2010through reforms, backed by laws and disciplined implementation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Forson assured investors that government remained focused on consolidating gains, deepening reforms and building a resilient, inclusive and growth\u2010oriented economy.<\/p>\n<p>Measures include reducing the size of government, amending the Public Financial Management Act to introduce fiscal rules, and establishing oversight institutions such as an independent Fiscal Council and an Office of Value for Money.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Forson also highlighted reforms in public funds management, petroleum revenue prioritisation, tax administration, and restructuring of royalties to finance infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>He cited payroll audits, rationalisation of programmes, reforms in the energy sector, and restructuring of COCOBOD as part of efforts to strengthen efficiency and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Forson noted that Ghana\u2019s external position had improved, supported by robust gold and cocoa exports and increased reserves, while debt restructuring was nearly complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese reforms have translated into tangible market outcomes,\u201d he said, pointing to declining yields and sovereign rating upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gains we achieved in 2025 provide a solid platform for continued recovery and policy predictability. Our focus now is to consolidate these gains, strengthen confidence, and build a more resilient and inclusive economy,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Investors at the meeting commended Ghana\u2019s reset agenda, praising the depth of reforms and progress in stabilising the economy and restoring credibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ghana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
