The government is set to host the much-anticipated National Economic Dialogue (NED) today, March 3, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre. This two-day forum, led by President John Dramani Mahama, aims to address Ghana’s pressing economic challenges and outline a path toward sustainable economic growth. Under the theme “Resetting Ghana: Building the Economy We Want Together,” President Mahama will deliver a keynote address that outlines his administration’s vision for revitalizing the economy.
The dialogue forms part of his commitment to fostering inclusive discussions on economic policies and reforms, ensuring that key stakeholders contribute to shaping the country’s financial future. The forum will bring together a diverse group of participants, including representatives from the private sector, academia, public policy institutions, and civil society organizations. Their discussions will be structured around thematic sessions addressing critical areas such as:
Achieving Sustainable Macroeconomic Stability
Promoting Economic Transformation
Advancing Infrastructure Development
Implementing Structural Reforms
Ensuring Private Sector-Led Growth
Restoring Good Governance and Combating Corruption
Ghana is facing an economic crisis, and the government hopes this engagement will generate consensus-driven solutions to boost business confidence, improve infrastructure, and enhance livelihoods. The dialogue’s outcomes are expected to serve as a roadmap for policy implementation, guiding economic decisions that promote resilience and long-term growth.
Stakeholders will work toward establishing clear commitments and milestones to reset the economy and drive transformative change. As the National Economic Dialogue kicks off, Ghanaians look forward to concrete policy recommendations that will shape the country’s economic trajectory for years to come.
