Dr Theo Acheampong is a Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance
Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, Dr Theo Acheampong, has said he is optimistic about Ghana’s economic prospects for 2026, describing it as a strong year for citizens and projecting further improvements in the year ahead.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV with Bernard Avle, Dr Acheampong said 2025 delivered positive outcomes for Ghanaians, citing the impact of government policies and macroeconomic interventions.
“If you were to ask me whether 2025 has been a good year for Ghanaians, absolutely it has been,” he stated.
He attributed the gains to measures contained in the national budget, as well as reforms being implemented under the government’s broader economic recovery agenda.
According to him, these policies are designed to stabilise the economy, support growth, and improve living standards.
Dr Acheampong also pointed to Ghana’s planned exit from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme by mid-2026 as a key milestone that could unlock additional economic opportunities.
“Will 2026 be even better? I think so, especially when you consider the measures outlined in the budget and some of the initiatives that will be rolled out once we exit the IMF programme in the middle of the year,” he said.
