Ghana’s economy is showing strong signs of recovery and good governance, with recent declines in fuel and essential commodity prices boosting public optimism.
Fuel prices at some pumps have softened further into 2026, with expectations of marginal reductions in early January due to a stronger cedi trading at GH¢10.90 against the dollar. While specific reports of GHS 9.90 per liter at some pump stations. A bag of cement, which reached GH¢120-150 in 2024 due to import costs and tariffs, is now selling at GH¢9. 80 due to the stability of the Ghana cedi.
A bag of sugar selling in 2024 at 1,100 cedis is now selling at 450 cedis. A cup is selling at 10 cedis in 2024 is now selling at 5 cedis.
Ghana recorded 5.5% GDP growth in the last quarter of 2025, the fastest in nine months, led by services (9.9%), agriculture (5.2%), and exports like gold and cocoa. Political stability, debt restructuring, and Bank of Ghana interventions have drawn foreign investment, making Ghana Africa’s “gateway” hub.
