Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has credited the recent appreciation of the cedi to disciplined economic choices and sound policies implemented by the Bank of Ghana.
Speaking at the 14th Ghana Economic Forum held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, the Vice President said Ghana’s economy is gradually regaining strength due to prudent fiscal management, expenditure cuts, and improved internal controls.
She explained that these measures have helped restore confidence in the economy, leading to a stronger cedi and a decline in inflation to 9.4 percent.
“The cedi’s appreciation is not a miracle. It is the result of disciplined choices and the consistent application of sound monetary and fiscal policies by the Bank of Ghana,” she stated.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, however, cautioned against complacency and called for continued discipline to make the recovery sustainable.
She urged Ghanaians to focus on adding value to the country’s natural resources, such as processing cocoa into chocolate and refining bauxite into aluminium, to strengthen the economy and create more jobs.
She added that true economic stability depends on responsible habits like paying taxes honestly, producing more than the country consumes, and holding leaders accountable.
“The stability we enjoy today must be protected through commitment, productivity, and self-reliance,” she emphasised.

The Ghana Police Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), will commence full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1, 2026.
According to the Service, the programme forms part of efforts to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.
TRAFFITECH-GH will use cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic regulations.
Under the programme, detected offences will be reviewed and Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) issued to vehicle owners or drivers through SMS. The notice will indicate the offence committed and the prescribed fine.
The Service has therefore urged all motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to comply with road traffic regulations and support the implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH to promote safer roads and reduce road traffic crashes and casualties.
