Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, Dr Theo Acheampong, has expressed confidence in Ghana’s economic outlook for 2026, describing the year as promising for citizens and indicating that current trends point to sustained improvement.

Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV with Bernard Avle, Dr Acheampong said 2025 had yielded positive results for Ghanaians, largely due to government policy choices and key macroeconomic interventions.

He maintained that the benefits seen over the past year reflect deliberate measures contained in the national budget and reforms under the government’s broader economic recovery programme.

“If you were to ask me whether 2025 has been a good year for Ghanaians, absolutely it has been,” Dr Acheampong said.

According to him, these policies are aimed at restoring economic stability, stimulating growth and gradually improving living conditions for citizens.

Looking ahead, Dr Acheampong highlighted Ghana’s expected exit from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by mid-2026 as a significant turning point that could create room for expanded economic initiatives.

He expressed optimism that the period after the IMF programme would allow government to roll out additional interventions to support growth, noting that the measures outlined in the budget position the economy for stronger performance in 2026 and beyond.
