Ghanaian-British music icon Stephanie Benson has stated that structured performance training is necessary to develop authentic stagecraft and improve live performances, according to Starr FM.

Separately, Zeine Zeidane, the Director of the International Monetary Fund’s African Department, commended Ghana’s economic performance during a meeting with Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson in Bangkok, Thailand. Speaking on the sidelines of the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings, Zeidane noted that the country's progress under the Extended Credit Facility programme and economic management reforms have made Ghana an example for other nations to follow.

Adom Online reports that the IMF has raised Ghana’s economic growth forecast for 2026 to 5.7% from a previous projection of 4.6%. In response, Dr. Forson stated that the government expects the economy to perform substantially better than the Fund’s latest forecast and emphasized a commitment to maintaining discipline in economic management.
