According to Yaw Appiah Lartey, Deloitte’s Africa Infrastructure Partner, Ghana’s economic readjustment is more than a response to shocks; it is a recalibration that is compelling the government, corporations, and investors to create stronger institutions.
Mr Appiah Lartey, opening the first of the Deloitte UK-GCC Investors Series for 2026, stated that many businesses, investors, and Ghanaians have felt the impact of Ghana’s economic changes not just in boardrooms and policy meetings but also in their daily lives.
Ghanaians have always demonstrated bravery and creativity, according to Mr Appiah Lartey, including market women who adjust prices at dawn, entrepreneurs who create technology solutions in East Legon, and government institutions that work nonstop to implement reforms.
Speaking on the topic “Ghana’s Economic Reset: What This Means for Investors and SMEs”, the Deloitte Ghana Strategy and Transactions Partner said that this discussion is important now because Ghana has seen rising oil prices, inflationary pressures, interest rate reductions, currency stability, and a slew of policy changes over the last two years.
“These are not abstract ideas; we have witnessed their actual influence on families, SMEs, and investor mood,” says the report.
He stated that the goal of the webinar is to shed light on Ghana’s changing macroeconomic environment, to identify which sectors are truly ready for growth, to give SMEs the tools to adapt and scale, and to clarify what Ghana’s economic reset means for investors.
He emphasised that this session would offer investors a practical, structured approach on how to identify opportunities, evaluate hazards, and position themselves appropriately in the dynamic Ghanaian market.
Peter Nii Charway, Senior Manager, Infrastructure, Capital and Real Estate Projects at Deloitte Ghana, walked participants through the structural changes affecting Ghana’s fiscal, monetary, and debt landscapes, describing the joint reform effort as a “strategic framework” aimed at permanently moving the economy away from the imbalances that caused the 2022 financial crisis.
He advised small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana to go beyond superficial optimism about the country’s economic comeback and make specific choices about where to place themselves, since sector dynamics vary significantly during the current economic readjustment.
He stated that the post-crisis economy would reward enterprises that show discipline and flexibility, rather than those that rely exclusively on capital access. The webinar series has continuously emphasised the importance of transaction advising services, which include finance, governance, legal structure, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) alignment, for firms looking to close the investment readiness gap.
