Dr. Theo Acheampong, Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Finance, has expressed optimism about Ghana’s economic outlook for 2026, describing 2025 as a positive year for citizens and predicting further improvements in the coming year.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Monday, January 5, he said, “If you were to ask me, has 2025 been a good year for Ghanaians? Absolutely, it has been.”
Dr. Acheampong highlighted that government measures outlined in the national budget, alongside initiatives planned after Ghana exits the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, will underpin continued economic progress.
He explained that key policies aimed at stabilising the economy, boosting growth, and improving livelihoods will support these gains. He also noted that Ghana’s anticipated exit from the IMF programme around mid-year could open further opportunities for expansion and development.
“Will 2026 be even better? I think so. If you look at what the government has put in place in terms of some of the measures that are contained within the budget and some of the things that were being done when we leave the IMF programme in the middle of the year,” he said.
Dr. Acheampong’s comments underscore the government’s confidence in steering Ghana towards economic stability and enhanced prosperity for its citizens in the new year.
