Nearly 1 million Ghanaians lifted out of poverty in a year — Ato Forson

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has told Parliament that inflation has fallen sharply from 23.8% in December 2024 to 5.3% as of June 2026, a decline he described as telling "the clearest story of all" about Ghana's economic turnaround. Presenting the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review, Dr Forson said inflation had ended 2025 at 5.4% before easing further to 5.3% by June 2026.
