Ghana Has Overcome Worst Economic Crisis in Its History – Finance Minister

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson says Ghana has made significant progress in recovering from what he describes as “the worst economic crisis in the country’s history.”

He said the economy had regained stability and investor and public confidence had returned, pointing to the progress made since the government began implementing measures to address the economic challenges.

Dr Forson made the remarks while presenting the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy in Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as the government outlined its next phase of economic management under the proposed US$10 billion ‘New Economy’ programme.

“Ghana has made significant gains and has emerged from the worst and the most painful economic crisis in our history. Stability has been achieved, and confidence is back,” he stated.

The four-year initiative, covering 2027 to 2030, is expected to channel investments into agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, critical minerals, tourism and other strategic sectors to expand domestic production, promote value addition and create employment.
