President John Dramani Mahama took center stage at the United Nations General Assembly today, unveiling a bold vision for Ghana’s future and calling on the world’s premier institution to embrace transformation alongside his nation. With palpable confidence, he introduced his administration’s ambitious “Reset Agenda” — a sweeping economic overhaul designed to recalibrate Ghana’s foundations and catapult the country into a new era of prosperity.
““Our currency, the Ghana cedi, was rapidly depreciating, faced with rising inflation, a huge debt burden, and low morale amongst our citizens. My new administration settled down quickly and embarked on an ambitious program of comprehensive transformation designed to restructure Ghana’s economic foundation and enhance our competitive standing globally. We refer to this process of recalibration as our Reset Agenda,” President Mahama declared.
Highlighting the impact of this agenda, he revealed, “In just eight months, we have achieved significant reduction in inflation from 23.8% in December 2024 to 11.5% in August 2025, restoring price stability for our citizens. Additionally, our currency, the Ghana cedi, has appreciated considerably against other currencies, with Bloomberg reporting it as the best-performing currency in the world at one point. Our improved sovereign credit rating reflects increasing investor confidence in our economy, and our 24-hour economy initiative promises to transform our economy.”
Turning to the global stage, President Mahama challenged the United Nations to undertake its own transformation, stating, “Madam President, I believe that, in honor of this milestone celebration, the United Nations should also embark on a process of serious recalibration and establish its own Reset Agenda. Since the organization’s founding, the number of UN member nations has nearly quadrupled, and quite frankly, it is not the same world that it was back then when the UN was formed.”
