Accra: Auditing and consultancy firm Deloitte has projected a 5.7% growth rate for Ghana in 2026. This projection is based on Ghana's current economic stability, characterised by a consistent decline in inflationary pressures and the appreciation of the cedi.
According to Ghana Web, Ghana's growth outlook for 2026 will be supported by improved export performance and government flagship programmes such as the 24-Hour Economy and the Accelerated Export Development Programme. However, the firm cautions that the outlook could be undermined by fluctuations in cocoa production and challenges within the agricultural sector.
In the second quarter of 2025, Ghana's economy recorded a 6.3% growth, driven by strong performance, with inflation dropping to single digits. The cedi strengthened by over 30% in the first nine months of 2025, averaging around GHS13 to the US dollar. This was supported by higher gold export receipts, sustained Bank of Ghana interventions, successful debt restructuring, and initiatives such as the Ghana Gold Board.
Deloitte has also urged the government to sustain capital spending within its fiscal consolidation framework, emphasising the need for effective resource planning and mobilisation.
