My main objective will be to stabilize the Cedi- Mahama

John Dramani Mahama, the president-elect, has declared that stabilizing Ghana’s currency and ensuring economic growth will be his top priorities following a seamless handover of power.

Speaking about his future intentions, Mahama stressed the significance of tackling Ghana’s economic issues, which he claims have affected many citizens and include inflation and currency depreciation.

He said he was confident his administration would put policies in place to improve economic performance and fortify international relations.

Mourad Louhaidia, the Algerian ambassador to Ghana, visited his home to offer congratulations.

“We are looking to focus and bring Ghana back up in terms of economic growth, in terms of stabilising the currency, in terms of bringing down inflation. And this is the time Ghana needs to work even closer with its partners, including China.

“So as early as possible, once we get the transition out of the way, it is our hope that we will be able to constitute a delegation to begin engaging with China on the issues of our technical cooperation.”
