President John Dramani Mahama says Ghana’s economy has made a remarkable recovery, achieving single-digit inflation, a stronger currency, and renewed business confidence.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, January 22, 2026, he said these results demonstrate that focused, accountable leadership can deliver real change.

“We’re resetting our country, we’re cutting waste, we’re restoring hope, and we’re building systems that work. In my first year back in office, we’ve shown that democracy works.
“And that change is possible when leadership is focused and accountable to the people. From a debt-distressed, crisis-ridden economy, we’ve achieved an impressive turnaround with a stable macro-economy, characterized by single-digit inflation, a strengthened currency, and increased business confidence,” Mahama said.

However, he emphasised that Ghana’s success is just the beginning.
“We cannot be a jewel isolated in a continent facing debt and development challenges. Africa must work together, knitting together its patchwork of success stories,” he added.
President Mahama called for scaling effective initiatives across Africa and the Global South, moving “from resetting one country to transforming the development model for the entire region.”
