The Board Chairman of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Dr. Godfred Seidu Jasaw says Ghana’s exports for 2026 have increased by $8.5 million so far.
Dr. Jasaw, who also serves as Chairman of Parliament’s Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee told Journalists on Monday, February 16, that the rise in export volumes, together with the prudent use of surplus production, is helping to sustain macroeconomic stability.
The Wa East MP made the remarks in reaction to claims by the Minority caucus that dollar injections by the Central Bank are the primary driver of the country’s economic stability.
“There are exports relative to imports. Exports have been increasing and I chair the GEPA board and I can tell you for a fact that our export quantum has been increasing and there is a difference of about $8.5 million already in mid-year.
“And so please, something good is happening. It is not about over-injection of dollars. If you have the productive capacity of the country being utilised effectively and then exports are increasing, clearly, you will have some stability in the macroeconomy.”
