President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering a conducive investment climate to support business growth and economic expansion.
He gave the assurance at the Presidency in Accra during a courtesy call by a delegation from the CEO Network Ghana.
The more than 130-member delegation, led by Ernest De-Graft Egyir, Founder and CEO of the network and the Ghana CEO Summit, formally invited the President to serve as Guest of Honour at the 2026 summit scheduled for May 28.
President Mahama said the government valued the private sector’s role in national development and was ready to work closely with business leaders to expand job creation and shared prosperity. He also pledged sustained efforts to consolidate economic gains.
He highlighted the government’s 24-hour economy policy as a key strategy to boost productivity, optimise infrastructure use, and create more employment opportunities.
“Government deeply values the contribution that you’re making, as we believe rebuilding and transforming the Ghanaian economy must be done in close partnership with the private sector,” he said.
Touching on the Accelerated Export Agenda, the President stressed the need for value addition and diversification, noting that Ghana could no longer depend on raw material exports. He encouraged businesses to explore opportunities under the initiative and engage government for support.
President Mahama further pledged to maintain fiscal discipline, cut waste, and channel resources into priority programmes, including infrastructure development and social interventions.
He cited improvements in key economic indicators, noting that Ghana’s GDP had exceeded $100 billion, reaching an estimated $114 billion, while the country had risen to eighth place in Africa by GDP size. He added that debt levels had been reduced to sustainable levels.
According to him, the business environment had improved, with renewed investor confidence, rising foreign direct investment, and increased domestic investment.
The President also outlined measures to enhance transparency and curb corruption through the use of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, in revenue assessment.
Mr Egyir commended the President’s leadership, particularly in debt management, fiscal consolidation, and efforts to restore macroeconomic stability.
