President Mahama: Ghana’s economy stands strong despite US-Israel-Iran tensions
President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that the nation’s economy remains strong and resilient, despite ongoing global tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the 24-hour economy module market in Dormaa Ahenkro, the President emphasized that the government is actively working to shield Ghana’s economic gains from external shocks.
“We have worked diligently over the past year to stabilize our economy, and the results are clear — our economy is strengthened and resilient,” President Mahama said. “No matter what shocks may occur globally, Ghana stands firm. We have seen how conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war have impacted other countries, and we are determined to ensure that Ghana does not suffer similar setbacks.”
He added, “The economic progress we have achieved in this administration must be preserved. Even in the face of global disruptions, we are positioning Ghana on a firm growth trajectory. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war challenged economies worldwide, but Ghana continues to show resilience.”
President Mahama also highlighted the government’s initiatives to boost domestic economic activity, including the establishment of the 24-hour economy module market in Dormaa Ahenkro, which aims to stimulate trade, create jobs, and enhance local business opportunities.
“Through strategic planning and consistent effort, we are ensuring that no global event can derail Ghana’s economic stability,” the President said.
