The Member of Parliament for Ketu North, Edem Agbana, has said that the economic wellbeing of Ghanaians has improved significantly since the return of President John Dramani Mahama to office.
Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV on Saturday, May 10, 2025, Agbana pointed to recent macroeconomic improvements, particularly the strengthening of the Ghanaian Cedi against the US Dollar, as evidence of the government's positive impact within its first 120 days. "We have just done 120 days and some days in office, but I can tell you on authority that the general economic wellbeing of Ghanaians is better than we met it," he said.
As of May 10, the Cedi was trading at GHS 13.1 to $1 on the interbank foreign exchange market-a notable appreciation compared to previous months.
Explaining further, Agbana highlighted the practical benefits of the stronger Cedi and declining inflation for ordinary Ghanaians and businesses, especially traders dealing in dollar-denominated goods. "If you look at the economic indicators, inflation is going down.
