President John Dramani Mahama says Ghana is entering a new phase of accelerated growth and expansion after laying what he describes as a strong economic foundation in 2025, following a year of tough but necessary reforms. In his New Year message to the nation on January 1, 2026, President Mahama stated that the gains made over the past year must now be built upon to deliver the “Ghana we want,” emphasising that the work ahead requires focus, discipline, and collective effort. “As satisfying as our achievements of 2025 are, they are but the foundation. The architecture of the Ghana we want must now be built on this foundation,” the President said.
