We need long-term macroeconomic stability to build a strong, vibrant economy – Deloitte boss
The Country Managing Partner of Deloitte Ghana, Daniel Kwadwo Owusu, is calling for long-term macroeconomic stability for Ghana, saying it is very critical for planning, forecasting, and overall building a strong and vibrant economy that not only creates jobs but also boosts the per capita income of the people and accelerates poverty reduction.
Speaking at the launch of the 8th Ghana CEO Network Summit and the Ghana Excellence Awards, Mr Owusu said Ghana has reached a stage where all must chart a common course toward building hope and confidence in the economy and position it for a brighter future.
“Indeed, the International 3 Monetary Fund has assured us that the economic outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa including Ghana is gradually improving, indicating that growth will rise from 3.4% in 2023 to 3.8% in 2024. For us, it is welcome news as inflation and other macroeconomic indicators are expected to improve this year. However, we need to do more as a country to achieve long-term macroeconomic stability”.
“Long-term macroeconomic stability is very critical for planning, forecasting, and overall building a strong and vibrant economy that not only creates jobs but also boosts the per capita income of the people and accelerates poverty reduction”, he stated.
He continued that Deloitte’s brand positioning statement “Embarking on a Transformational Business Journey” aligns with the vision of the Ghana CEO Network Summit, adding, “As Knowledge Partner of this summit, we will continue to collaborate with industry leaders, policymakers, and other stakeholders to build a robust, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. We are excited to bring our expertise in these areas to the table”.
“At Deloitte, it is all about making an impact that matters, setting high standards of excellence and achieving them, and helping our clients realise their ambitions. We also create connections with our clients, the communities, and the leaders far and wide to make an impact that matters most, a reason we see the Ghana CEO Summit as an important tool to share our projects and programmes with a wider and larger audience.
Deloitte launched the Technology, Media, and Telecom Predictions for 2024, which hinged on four pillars - Generative Artificial Intelligence; Sustainability; Media, Entertainment and Sports as well as Technology and Telecom.
The Country Managing Partner said this is an insightful and educative piece that talks about the evolution of these spaces and the need for us to reposition our brands in line with the changing trends.
Mr Owusu, therefore, urged people to read the report on the homepage of the Deloitte Ghana website.
He noted that Deloitte is committed to sharing insights and best practices that can help Ghana and the broader region navigate complex issues and achieve their growth objectives.
