President John Dramani Mahama addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly on September 24, 2026, emphasizing the importance of economic growth leading to better living standards for all. His administration's efforts to restore macroeconomic stability in Ghana have resulted in significant improvements, according to Mahama.
He stressed the need for disciplined governance, fiscal prudence, and a fight against corruption to achieve these goals. The President highlighted that the recovery has been validated by multilateral financial institutions and international credit rating agencies, though he did not specify their names. Mahama pointed out that while macroeconomic indicators are important, they must translate into tangible improvements in people's daily lives, as "economic growth and progress must have a human face."
In pursuit of this vision, his government is implementing an aggressive infrastructure program called the Big Push initiative, which aims to construct roads, expand digital connectivity, and provide schools and health facilities across the country.
