The Country Managing Partner of Deloitte Ghana, Daniel Kwadwo Owusu, is optimistic about the business environment in 2026, saying the strong economic fundamentals achieved by President Mahama led government are a clear testament that exciting times are ahead.
His argument is premised on a solid exchange rate regime, lower inflation, and a robust fiscal discipline.
Speaking in an interview with Joy Business, Mr. Owusu said the government must get into full gear after stabilising the economy.
“2025 has been an interesting year; it’s the year that the government started its reset agenda. We’ve seen how things have gone in the right direction: the exchange rate is moving in the right direction, and the inflation rate has also continued to nosedive. So overall, 2025 has been a positive year.”.
“We have a high expectation of what 2026 is going to bring, and for us as a firm, we are looking forward to the government getting into business and doing a lot of things. In 2025, the government took the time to assess everything, and now we can see that we are heading in the right direction. But we’re hoping that in 2026, the government will completely take off; we will see a lot of changes in the economy”, he mentioned.
Businesses Can Now Forecast With Ease
He continued that businesses can now forecast with ease where inflation and the exchange rate will pan out in 2026, adding, “Stable economic indicators help businesses to plan and budget well…..that is helpful”.
“So as a business, we also expect the government to kick start [go into full gear]. The economy must be boosted productively for businesses to create employment. Those are the solutions that we want to see in the economy, so the expectation is very high”, he mentioned.
“I think we have a good starting point; businesses should expect to do more, go into areas that they didn’t venture into in 2025. It’s clear we are in the right direction”. Mr Owusu alluded.
Commends Partners and Staff
He thanked the Partners and Staff of the firm for exhibiting hard work in 2025, calling for more in 2026.
He urged all the staff to reflect on the past, energise and deliver more results in 2026.
He concluded, acknowledging the country’s economic stability, saying, “If you look at where we were and where we have landed, nobody would have been able to predict it, but at least we have seen what the government has done”.
