President John Dramani Mahama has constituted a Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy (PAGE) as part of efforts to restore macroeconomic stability, strengthen fiscal sustainability and accelerate inclusive, job-rich growth.
The appointment, announced on Thursday, 15 January 2026, is anchored on the government’s broader Reset Agenda, including the implementation of the 24-Hour Economy and the Accelerated Export Development Programme. The presidency said the move reflects Mr Mahama’s determination to draw on deep national and international expertise to support sound economic governance and evidence-based policymaking.
PAGE will serve as a high-level advisory body to the President, providing independent and non-partisan strategic advice on key economic issues. Its mandate includes offering counsel on macroeconomic management, fiscal consolidation, debt sustainability and policy coherence between fiscal and monetary authorities. The group will also advise on structural transformation, industrial development, competitiveness and export-led growth strategies.
Other responsibilities include guidance on sectoral development, private-sector expansion, investment mobilisation and sustainable job creation. PAGE is also expected to support the design and sequencing of flagship initiatives such as the 24-Hour Economy, conduct periodic assessments of economic performance and propose policy adjustments where necessary.
In addition, the advisory group will contribute expert input to Ghana’s engagements with bilateral and multilateral partners, international financial institutions and investors. It will report directly to the President and submit advisory briefs as requested, including periodic strategic reviews.
The group will be chaired by President Mahama and includes Vice-President Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang. Its membership brings together prominent figures from academia, public service and the private sector, including private-sector leaders Ishmael Yamson, Kwame Pianim, Sir Sam Jonah and Togbe Afede XIV.
Also appointed are former Bank of Ghana governors Dr Kwabena Duffour and Dr Henry A. Kofi Wampah; former deputy minister Nana Oye Mansa Yeboa; Ghana Stock Exchange Chief Executive Abena Amoah; agribusiness investor and former World Bank specialist Ato Brown; and academics Prof Priscilla Twumasi Baffour and Prof Patience Aseweh Abor.
Government Communications Minister and presidential spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the establishment of PAGE underscores the administration’s commitment to strategic coordination and resilient, long-term economic growth.
