Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has pledged a full revival of Ghana’s economy following a Fin-tech Ratings upgrade. The country’s credit rating was raised from ‘Restricted Default’ to ‘B-’ with a stable outlook, reflecting renewed investor confidence after Ghana restructured $13.1 billion in Eurobonds.

Dr. Forson said the upgrade marks the beginning of a broader recovery, aiming to attract investment, lower borrowing costs, and restore economic stability. Fitch forecasts Ghana’s debt-to-GDP to drop from 72% in 2024 to 60% by 2026, with growth projected at 4–4.5% over the next two years.

Inflation is expected to decline to 10% by 2026, driven by currency gains and lower global prices. The progress comes amid Ghana’s ongoing $3 billion IMF-backed recovery programme ending in 2026.
