The dialogue is designed as a platform for inclusive discussions, where key stakeholders will collaborate to chart a path forward for the nation’s economic future.
The event will bring together a broad cross-section of Ghanaian society, including private sector leaders, academics, public policy experts, and representatives from civil society organizations. The discussions will focus on several key areas, including:
- Achieving Sustainable Macroeconomic Stability
- Promoting Economic Transformation
- Advancing Infrastructure Development

With Ghana grappling with a deepening economic crisis, the government is hopeful that the dialogue will yield consensus-driven solutions to boost business confidence, improve infrastructure, and enhance the livelihoods of citizens.
The outcomes of the forum are expected to provide a roadmap for policy implementation, offering a framework to guide decision-making aimed at economic resilience and long-term growth. Stakeholders are set to establish clear commitments and measurable milestones as part of a broader effort to reset the economy and drive transformative change.
