The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has called for a jobs-focused economic transformation in Ghana, urging the government to use the gains from macroeconomic stabilization to create jobs, boost productivity, and promote industrialisation. Director of Research at the IEA, Professor Alexander Bilson Darku, made this call during the Institute's assessment of the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review in Accra.
He emphasized the need for improved economic indicators to translate into higher household incomes, productive investment, and better livelihoods for Ghanaians, advocating for transformational budgeting with a stronger emphasis on growth-enhancing infrastructure while maintaining fiscal discipline.
