President-elect John Dramani Mahama has outlined his priorities for Ghana following a smooth transition of power, emphasizing economic growth and currency stabilization as key focus areas.
Addressing the pressing economic challenges facing the nation, Mahama underscored the need to combat inflation and tackle the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi, both of which have significantly impacted citizens. He assured Ghanaians of his administration’s commitment to implementing effective strategies to revitalize the economy.
“We are looking to focus and bring Ghana back up in terms of economic growth, in terms of stabilising the currency, in terms of bringing down inflation,” he stated.
The president-elect shared his vision during a courtesy visit from the Algerian Ambassador to Ghana, Mourad Louhaidia, who stopped by to congratulate him on his victory. Mahama also highlighted the importance of fostering international partnerships to achieve these goals.
“This is the time Ghana needs to work even closer with its partners, including China,” he said, acknowledging the critical role of international collaboration in addressing Ghana’s economic challenges.
Mahama revealed plans to engage with China on technical cooperation to bolster Ghana’s development efforts. “So as early as possible, once we get the transition out of the way, it is our hope that we will be able to constitute a delegation to begin engaging with China on the issues of our technical cooperation,” he added.
With these priorities in mind, Mahama’s administration aims to lay the groundwork for a stable and prosperous Ghana, building on strong local and international partnerships.
