Accra: Mr Stan Xoese Dogbe, the Deputy Chief of Staff at the Presidency in-charge of Operations, has reaffirmed President John Dramani Mahama's commitment to the 'Resetting Ghana Agenda' for the benefit of the citizenry. The 'Resetting Ghana Agenda' is a strategic national policy aimed at restoring economic stability, fighting corruption, and strengthening public institutions. It centers on rebuilding public trust, fostering inclusive growth, and implementing a $10 billion 'Big Push' infrastructure to fix structural economic issues. According to Ghana News Agency, Mr Dogbe made the remarks on Friday at the Ghana Export Promotion Authority's (GEPA) launch of the 2025 Non-Traditional Exports (NTE) Statistics, in Accra. He stated that the event was more than a routine dissemination of data and described it as a celebration of resilience and a testament to the 'can-do' spirit of the Ghanaian entrepreneur. He congratulated the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, the leadership and staff of GEPA, and its allied agencies for their exemplary coordination and commitment. Mr Dogbe further saluted the nation's exporters, referring to them as 'frontline soldiers in the battle for economic stability.' He acknowledged their ingenuity in navigating global supply chain fluctuations and domestic pressures, which led to the positive 2025 growth figures. The GEPA NTE 2025 report indicated that Ghana's Non-Traditional Exports recorded an impressive performance, with total earnings rising to $5.01 billion, up from $3.83 billion in 2024, representing a significant 30.7 percent growth. He emphasized that the 2025 statistics serve as strong validation of President Mahama's export agenda and the Accelerated Export Development Programme (AEDP). The growth in processed and semi-processed goods, the expansion of the nation's horticultural footprint, and the surge in industrial arts and crafts exports were highlighted as direct results of the President's vision to promote value addition and explore new markets. Mr Dogbe noted th at these achievements prove that with the right incentives, reduced business costs, and support to local industries, Ghana can compete on the global stage. He stressed that the performance of the NTE sector in 2025 is integral to the nation's broader national strategy, contributing to stabilizing the Ghana Cedi through higher foreign-exchange inflows and creating sustainable jobs. He concluded by stating that the 2025 NTE statistics confirm that Ghana is on the right track as a government, a country, and an export authority, and reiterated President Mahama's unwavering commitment to resetting the Ghanaian economy for the benefit of every citizen.
