Mahama: Our priority is achieving macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability.

Former President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized that achieving macroeconomic stability and ensuring debt sustainability will be key priorities under his leadership if elected in the 2024 elections. Speaking at an engagement with stakeholders, Mahama highlighted the pressing need to restore confidence in Ghana’s economy, which has been severely affected by rising inflation, a depreciating currency, and an unsustainable debt burden.

According to Mahama, the current economic challenges have left Ghanaians struggling with high living costs, limited job opportunities, and dwindling public services. He criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government for its handling of the economy, accusing it of excessive borrowing and poor fiscal management, which have pushed Ghana into its worst economic crisis in decades.

He outlined a plan to stabilize the economy by introducing prudent fiscal policies, reducing wasteful spending, and promoting revenue mobilization efforts. Mahama also underscored the importance of renegotiating Ghana’s debt to create fiscal space for critical investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

The former president further stressed the need for sustainable economic growth driven by local industries, agriculture, and job creation. He assured Ghanaians that his administration would adopt a transparent and inclusive approach to governance, ensuring that resources are managed efficiently for the benefit of all citizens.

Mahama called on Ghanaians to support the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections, promising a leadership focused on restoring economic stability and delivering a better future for the country.
