Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson
The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has urged Ghana’s private sector to give back to society by reducing prices to reflect the country’s current economic gains.
According to him, Ghana’s economy is experiencing a strong recovery, driven by a sharp reduction in public debt, headline inflation, and the policy rate, as well as the appreciation of the cedi against the US dollar.
In the first three quarters, Ghana’s economy recorded 6.1 percent GDP growth, reflecting greater stability compared to previous years.
Speaking at a presidential dialogue with the private sector on February 23, 2026, Dr Forson emphasised that the private sector has been the biggest beneficiary of the ongoing economic reset under the current administration.
“The private sector is the biggest beneficiary of the economic reset under your administration. I want to use this opportunity to also urge the private sector that it’s time to give something back to the Ghanaian citizen. Please reduce your prices to reflect the reality,” he said.
He added that Ghana’s long-term success can only be achieved through stronger collaboration between government and the private sector, noting that the latter has proven to be the backbone of every economy.
“Let us together make our country great and strong,” he concluded.
