Mahama Establishes Presidential Advisory Group to Guide Economic Policy
Accra, Ghana— President John Dramani Mahama has set up a high-level Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy (PAGE) to stabilise Ghana’s economy and encourage job growth. The Presidency announced this in a statement on Thursday, January 15, 2026. President Mahama will chair the group, with Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the first listed member.
Government says PAGE is part of the broader Reset Agenda and will advise on policies for the 24-Hour Economy initiative, the Accelerated Export Development Programme, and other national reforms.
The statement further disclosed that PAGE will deliver independent, nonpartisan, and strategic counsel to the President and the government. Specific duties include advising on macroeconomic management, fiscal consolidation, and debt sustainability. Members are tasked with offering expert insights on industrial transformation, competitiveness, and export-driven growth, as well as advancing private-sector development and attracting investment.
Members of PAGE are also expected to support the rollout of the 24-Hour Economy and productivity reforms fully, conduct periodic reviews of Ghana’s economic performance, and furnish expert input into Ghana’s negotiations with international partners and investors.
The group will submit advisory briefs and strategic reviews directly to the President when required.
PAGE includes economists, academics, business leaders, financiers, and former government officials who have decades of experience in national policy and international development.
Government says PAGE will support “sound economic governance, evidence-based decision-making and strategic coordination” to overcome current challenges and build long-term resilience.
