The Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has asserted that Ghana\u2019s economy has undergone a significant turnaround within President John Dramani Mahama\u2019s first year back in office.<\/p>\n

He argues that the country is now in a far healthier position than it was at the time the National Democratic Congress (NDC) assumed power.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on TV3 on Sunday, January 4, Mr Kwakye Ofosu said key economic indicators show consistent improvement, reflecting stronger performance and renewed stability.<\/p>\n

According to him, economic management was the foremost concern of voters during the 2024 general elections, making recent gains particularly important.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny objective observer would agree that the country is in a much better position than when we took over. If you consider the economy, which was the single most important issue for voters barely a year ago, all the indicators now point in the right direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Government Communications Minister maintained that the NDC administration has fulfilled its commitments to the electorate, stressing that the progress made is measurable and evident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have acquitted ourselves creditably. It is not difficult to assess our performance; one only needs to compare where the country was a year ago with where it stands today,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Mr Kwakye Ofosu further highlighted tangible improvements in living conditions, pointing to a reduction in the cost of living, falling prices of goods, and a notable strengthening of the cedi.<\/p>\n

He said the currency, which had long been a source of concern, is projected to record an annual appreciation of nearly 30 per cent \u2014 a development he described as unprecedented in recent years. \u201cThis stability has translated into lower prices across several sectors of the economy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
