CDD lauds Mahama’s administration for exceptional macroeconomic stability
The Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has commended improvements in macroeconomic conditions during the first year of Mahama’s Administration, describing them as “exceptional”.
A report issued by the Centre, however, identified implementation challenges in governance, anti-corruption, and environmental management.
Dr Kojo Pumpuni Asante, the Director of Policy, Engagement and Partnerships at CDD-Ghana, said this at the launch of the First-Year Assessment of the John Mahama II Administration in Accra on Thursday.
He said that although lower inflation showed slower price increases, Ghanaians had experienced real price reductions across key sectors, providing tangible relief in the cost of living.
Fuel prices declined by approximately four to eight per cent between December 2025 and January 2026, resulting in a 15 per cent reduction in commercial transport fares.
Food inflation fell from 28.3 per cent in January 2025 to 4.9 per cent in December the same year, while the appreciation of the cedi reduced the cost of imported essentials, including medicines and raw materials.
The report noted that while disposable incomes improved in major cities such as Accra and Kumasi, regional disparities persisted, with northern areas experiencing slower price reductions due to logistical constraints.
