The government, in collaboration with key stakeholders, has concluded the National Economic Dialogue (NED) with a strong call for structural reforms to address Ghana’s economic challenges.
The event, held at the Accra International Conference Centre from March 3 to 4, 2025, brought together representatives from the private sector, civil society organisations, traditional authorities, and academia under the distinguished patronage of President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
The dialogue, which brought together industry experts, policymakers, and thought leaders, was marked by spirited discussions on Ghana’s economic direction.
Participants acknowledged that the economy remains in crisis, facing multiple risks and vulnerabilities.
They highlighted concerns over the fragile macroeconomic environment, particularly the financial instability of state-owned enterprises in the energy and cocoa sectors, which continue to threaten fiscal and debt sustainability.
Speaking on the theme, “Resetting Ghana – Building the Economy We Want Together”, participants stated that economic resilience and transformation could only be achieved through inclusive dialogue and home-grown policy measures.
They urged the government to take decisive action to address structural weaknesses and improve financial conditions.
A key takeaway from the discussions was the need for comprehensive and lasting public sector reforms to boost productivity and enhance private sector participation in the economy.
Stakeholders also called for a full implementation of the proposed interventions from the dialogue, stressing that swift and effective execution was necessary to revive and revitalise the economy.
The dialogue concluded with a renewed commitment to fostering inclusive development and ensuring that economic policies are aligned with national growth objectives.
Participants urged continued engagement between the government and key economic players to drive policy implementation and restore confidence in Ghana’s economic future.
