Ghana’s economy is on track to outperform its 2025 growth projections, fueled by robust industrial expansion and policy reforms like the upcoming 24-Hour Economy Programme, according to a mid-year review by Deloitte Ghana.
The country recorded 5.3% GDP growth in Q1 2025 surpassing both Q1 2024’s 4.9% and the government’s annual 4.0% target signaling strengthening macroeconomic resilience despite global headwinds.
The industry sector, expanding by 6.8%, drove the gains, reflecting returns on recent infrastructure investments and sector-specific support. Deloitte cited this as evidence that “previous investments in industry are yielding results,” positioning Ghana to achieve or exceed its yearly growth goal.
The firm highlighted the 24-Hour Economy Programme as pivotal for sustaining momentum, noting its potential to boost round-the-clock productivity in manufacturing, agro-processing, and logistics.
“If effectively implemented, this initiative will enable government-private sector collaboration to drive sustainable growth with tangible benefits for Ghanaians,” Deloitte stated.
For citizens, this could translate to job creation and improved living standards; for SMEs, opportunities to scale operations in a 24-hour market. As Ghana prepares to roll out the flagship program, Deloitte anticipates a new phase of economic resilience where growth becomes a shared national experience.
