The Chairman of the National Economic Dialogue Planning Committee, Dr. Ishmael Yamson, has expressed optimism that the committee’s recommendations will support President John Dramani Mahama’s efforts to “reset” Ghana’s economy amid global challenges.
Presenting the committee’s final report at the Jubilee House on June 4, Dr. Yamson said the recommendations are timely and aligned with Ghana’s current economic needs.
“We are confident, Your Excellency, that you will find the recommendations useful as you lead the resetting Ghana agenda,” he stated.
Dr. Yamson noted that the committee considered ongoing global disruptions and uncertainties, emphasizing the importance of building a resilient economy through greater self-reliance.
“We also believe you will find the recommendations appropriate in these times of extreme global disruptions and uncertainties, where resilience means self-reliance,” he added.
Some of the committee’s suggestions have already been adopted and integrated into the 2025 national budget, yielding early positive outcomes.
“We are excited to know that even before we had the opportunity to present the final report to you, some of the key recommendations, which were fed into the 2025 budget, are already being implemented with spectacular results,” Dr. Yamson noted.
The National Economic Dialogue aimed to foster inclusive discussions and provide strategic guidance to shape Ghana’s long-term economic transformation.
