加纳总统马哈马通过成立总统经济顾问小组，采取了果断措施，恢复宏观经济稳定，并重新定位加纳实现可持续增长。

新成立的总统顾问团队汇聚加纳国内顶级经济学家、私营集团领袖、学者和前公职人员，提供关于经济治理的战略性和独立建议。

顾问小组的成立凸显了总统在加纳应对财政压力、债务可持续性挑战以及迫切包容性、就业丰富增长需求的过程中，致力于基于证据的政策制定。这也与更广泛的 “重置议程” 相呼应，后者强调生产力、出口和经济结构转型。 

总统经济顾问小组的设立体现了加强政策协调并确保财政与货币决策一致性的有意努力。在全球经济不确定性持续存在且国内限制限制增长的背景下，总统选择借助深厚的国内外专业知识，指导最高层面的经济决策。

该顾问小组预计将支持政府稳定宏观经济的努力，同时为长期韧性奠定基础。其咨询角色旨在补充现有机构，提供无党派视角和战略洞察，从而及时推动政策调整。

使命基于增长与稳定

总统顾问团队的核心职责是就宏观经济管理、财政整合和债务可持续性提供战略咨询。团队还将就确保财政政策与货币政策之间的一致性提供建议，这一领域在管理通胀、汇率稳定和投资者信心方面日益关键。

除稳定之外，咨询小组还负责就结构转型、工业发展、竞争力和出口驱动型增长战略提供指导。这些优先事项是加纳实现经济多元化、减少进口依赖和加强生产基础的核心目标。

团队还将进一步支持行业发展、私营部门扩张、投资动员和可持续就业创造。这一重点体现了政府将企业增长和就业置于经济复苏核心的意图。

推动24小时经济和出口推动

总统顾问团队的关键支柱之一是支持旗舰项目的设计、排序和实施，如 24 小时经济和加速出口发展计划。这些举措预计将释放生产力提升，扩大工业产能，并在制造、农业、物流和服务领域创造新机遇。

通过定期评估加纳经济表现，集团将在必要时提出政策调整或纠正措施。这一持续审查机制旨在确保改革能够响应不断变化的经济形势，并产生可衡量的效果。

顾问团队还将为加纳与双边和多边发展伙伴、国际金融机构和投资者的经济谈判及交流提供专家意见。这一角色预计将加强加纳在获取发展融资、合作伙伴关系和外国直接投资方面的地位。

一支卓越的专业阵容

总统顾问团队由马哈马总统本人担任主席，显示其工作的重要性。成员构成了学术界、公共服务和私营部门的经验，意图保持平衡。

加纳副总统简·纳娜·奥波库-阿吉曼教授为集团带来了学术领导力和治理经验。她与经验丰富的私营部门人士如伊什梅尔·亚姆森先生和夸梅·皮亚尼姆先生一同出席，两人此前都曾为国家经济咨询工作做出贡献。

前财政部副部长兼贸易与工业部副部长纳纳·奥耶·曼萨·耶博阿女士补充了政策和贸易专业知识，而加纳银行前行长兼前财政部长夸贝纳·杜富尔博士则带来了丰富的中央银行和财政管理经验。

团队还包括工业家和私营部门领袖塞缪尔·埃森·乔纳爵士，以及拥有丰富私营部门经验的经济学家十四世·托比·阿费德阁下，其纳入反映了政府对企业主导增长和工业发展的重视。

团队进一步加强的还有加纳银行前行长亨利·A·科菲·旺帕博士、农业企业投资者及前世界银行基础设施专家阿托·布朗先生，以及加纳证券交易所首席执行官阿贝娜·阿莫阿女士。学术观点由普里西拉·特乌马西·巴福尔教授和帕申斯·阿塞韦·阿博尔教授提供，两位都是备受尊敬的大学研究人员。

直接向总统汇报

顾问小组将直接向总统汇报，并根据要求提交咨询备忘录和简报。它还将定期进行战略评估，确保总统能够及时获得有根据的关键经济问题分析。

通过组建这个强大的经济智囊团，马哈马总统表明他重新聚焦战略规划、包容性增长和机构协作。

随着加纳寻求重塑经济轨迹，该咨询小组的有效性很可能在制定政策结果和恢复对国家经济未来的信心中发挥关键作用。

Mahama Assembles High-Powered Economic Brain Trust to Reset Ghana’s Economy

President John Dramani Mahama has taken a decisive step toward restoring macroeconomic stability and repositioning Ghana for sustainable growth with the establishment of a Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy.

The newly constituted body brings together some of the country’s most respected economists, private sector leaders, academics, and former public officials to provide strategic and independent advice on economic governance.

The formation of the Advisory Group underscores the President’s commitment to evidence-based policymaking as Ghana navigates fiscal pressures, debt sustainability challenges, and the urgent need for inclusive, job-rich growth. It also aligns with the broader Reset Agenda, which places emphasis on productivity, exports, and structural transformation of the economy. 

The creation of the Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy reflects a deliberate effort to strengthen policy coordination and ensure coherence between fiscal and monetary decisions. With global economic uncertainties persisting and domestic constraints weighing on growth, the President has opted to draw on deep national and international expertise to guide economic decision-making at the highest level.

The Advisory Group is expected to support government efforts to stabilise the macroeconomy while laying the foundation for long-term resilience. Its advisory role is designed to complement existing institutions by offering non-partisan perspectives and strategic insights that can inform timely policy adjustments.

Mandate Anchored on Growth and Stability

At the core of the Group’s mandate is the provision of strategic counsel on macroeconomic management, fiscal consolidation, and debt sustainability. The Group will also advise on ensuring coherence between fiscal and monetary policy, an area that has become increasingly critical in managing inflation, exchange rate stability, and investor confidence.

Beyond stabilisation, the Advisory Group is tasked with offering guidance on structural transformation, industrial development, competitiveness, and export-led growth strategies. These priorities are central to Ghana’s ambition to diversify its economy, reduce import dependence, and strengthen its productive base.

The Group will further support sectoral development, private sector expansion, investment mobilisation, and sustainable job creation. This focus reflects the administration’s intention to place enterprise growth and employment at the heart of economic recovery efforts.

Driving the 24-Hour Economy and Export Push

A key pillar of the Advisory Group’s work will be supporting the design, sequencing, and implementation of flagship initiatives such as the 24-Hour Economy and the Accelerated Export Development Programme. These initiatives are expected to unlock productivity gains, expand industrial capacity, and create new opportunities across manufacturing, agribusiness, logistics, and services.

Through periodic assessments of Ghana’s economic performance, the Group will propose policy adjustments or corrective measures where necessary. This continuous review mechanism is aimed at ensuring that reforms remain responsive to evolving economic conditions and deliver measurable impact.

The Advisory Group will also contribute expert input to Ghana’s economic negotiations and engagements with bilateral and multilateral development partners, international financial institutions, and investors. This role is expected to strengthen Ghana’s position in securing development financing, partnerships, and foreign direct investment.

A Distinguished Line-Up of Expertise

The Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy is chaired by President Mahama himself, signaling the importance attached to its work. The membership reflects a deliberate balance of experience from academia, public service, and the private sector.

Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang brings academic leadership and governance experience to the Group. She is joined by seasoned private sector figures such as Mr. Ishmael Yamson and Mr. Kwame Pianim, both of whom have previously contributed to national economic advisory efforts.

Former Deputy Minister of Finance and Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, Ms. Nana Oye Mansa Yeboaa, adds policy and trade expertise, while Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, former Governor of the Bank of Ghana and former Minister for Finance, brings deep experience in central banking and fiscal management.

The Group also includes Sir Samuel Esson Jonah, an industrialist and private sector leader, as well as Togbe Afede XIV, an economist with extensive private sector experience. Their inclusion reflects the administration’s emphasis on enterprise-led growth and industrial development.

Further strengthening the Group are Dr. Henry A. Kofi Wampah, former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Mr. Ato Brown, an agribusiness investor and former World Bank infrastructure specialist, and Ms. Abena Amoah, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Stock Exchange. Academic perspectives are provided by Professors Priscilla Twumasi Baffour and Patience Aseweh Abor, both respected university researchers.

Reporting Directly to the President

The Advisory Group will report directly to the President and submit advisory memoranda and briefs as requested. It will also provide periodic strategic reviews, ensuring that the President has access to timely, well-grounded analysis on key economic issues.

By assembling this high-powered economic brain trust, President Mahama has signaled a renewed focus on strategic planning, inclusive growth, and institutional collaboration.

As Ghana seeks to reset its economic trajectory, the effectiveness of this Advisory Group is likely to play a critical role in shaping policy outcomes and restoring confidence in the country’s economic future.
