加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生对该国经济复苏的速度表示惊讶，称这一转变比他个人预期的要快得多。

近日在首都阿克拉举行的第一天空集团（First Sky Group）感恩仪式上，总统表示，经济复苏的规模和速度超出了预期，甚至赢得了国际货币基金组织（IMF）和世界银行等国际金融机构的赞赏。

Mahama 总统称，他领导的政府接手的严峻经济形势曾让他认为至少需要两年时间才能看到实质性改善。

在列举关键经济指标时，总统指出通胀率大幅下降和本币表现强劲是经济复苏的明证。总统将经济好转归功于政策决策、纪律约束以及上帝的恩典。

"我曾经历过这种局面。当时面临的危机非常严峻。按我的预想，我们至少需要两年才能实现经济好转。但埃比尼泽啊，这就是上帝带领我们达到的高度。"

"如此快速的转变让我们所有人都感到意外和震惊。每次见到国际货币基金组织和世界银行的官员时，他们都不敢相信加纳发生的变化。"

"因此，加纳现在成了国际货币基金组织和世界银行的模范生。这完全是上帝的恩典。将通胀率从 23.8% 降至 5.4% 仅用一年？我是说，我们怎么做到的？加纳塞地汇率一年内升值 37%，这是史无前例的，唯有上帝能成就此事。" Mahama 总统说道。

Mahama: Ghana’s Economic Turnaround has Shocked All of Us

President John Dramani Mahama has expressed surprise at the pace of Ghana’s economic recovery, describing the turnaround as faster than he had personally anticipated when his administration assumed office amid deep economic challenges.

Speaking at the First Sky Group’s Thanksgiving Service in Accra on Sunday, January 25, President Mahama said the scale and speed of the recovery have exceeded expectations, even drawing admiration from international financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

According to the President, the economic situation his government inherited was so severe that he initially believed it would take at least two years to begin seeing meaningful improvements.

Highlighting key economic indicators, the President pointed to the sharp decline in inflation and the strong performance of the local currency as evidence of the recovery.

The President attributed the gains not only to policy decisions but also to discipline and the grace of God.

“I have been at this job before. The crisis that faced us was very difficult. In my own imagination I thought we would need about two years to see an economic turnaround. But Ebenezer, this is how far God has brought us.

“We are all surprised and shocked at the quick turnaround. Any time I meet the IMF officials and the World Bank officials they can’t even believe what has happened in Ghana.

“So, Ghana has now become a Poster boy of the IMF and the World Bank. It is only the Grace of God. To bring Inflation from 23.8% to 5.4% in one year? I mean, how did we manage that? For the first time to see the Ghanaian Cedi appreciate by 37% in one year, it is only God," he said.
