President John Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has called on stakeholders from various sectors to support the government’s agenda of resetting the country, as it work towards achieving sustainable economic growth.
President Mahama, who made the call during his opening remarks at the National Economic Dialogue 2025 yesterday in Accra, said the dialogue is aimed at soliciting the views of all stakeholders for inclusive economic growth.
“For me, this is not just another policy discussion. It is an urgent call to action. A crucial moment for us as stakeholders to unite with purpose and resolve the challenges that face us. It is an invitation to all stakeholders to contribute their expertise, ideas, and dedication to this national effort. Ghana is at a critical crossroads in this economic development,” he added.
He also stated that Ghana’s collective resilience, integrity, and determination have always been the driving force of the nation’s progress, as such the two- day event was not meant to recount the nation’s struggles or resign itself to economic stagnation, but a platform to seek solutions, adopt strategies that will put the country on a sustainable growth trajectory as well as build an economy that works for every Ghanaian.
The President also mentioned that the insights, diverse perspectives, and actionable recommendations that emerge from the discussions will transcend theoretical frameworks and drive real, impactful decisions.
He emphasised that the decisions will guide the nation forward as it focuses on practical strategies to restore macroeconomic stability and also pave way for long-term economic transformation.
The long-term economic transformation the President mentioned include developing policies that stimulate growth and create sustainable job opportunities for the rapidly growing nation as well as examining the structural reforms that are necessary to unleash the private sector’s potential and make it truly the engine of growth to drive job creation and innovation.
“It is vital that we ask to move towards a more prosperous future and that the economic gains we achieve are distributed equitably, leaving no one behind and fostering an inclusive growth that benefits every sector of society, from the most marginalised communities to the industrial leaders of tomorrow,” he added.
President Mahama further urged stakeholders not to relent in their quest to support him to rebuild the country despite the challenges ahead.
The two-day event, held under the theme: “Resetting Ghana: Building the Economy we want Together,” also brought together government officials, industrialists, civil society organisations, members from the academia among other dignitaries.
