5.0% growth rate for Ghana in 2026 – Fitch Ratings

Compiled By: Prince Henry Danquah, Bora Capital Advisors Ltd

Fitch Ratings is predicting in its latest report a growth rate of 5.0% for Ghana in 2026.

This is lower than the 5.9% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate achieved in 2025.

Its rating is based on the Middle East war, which has reached another dimension.

The UK-based firm disclosed that Sub-Saharan African (SSA) sovereigns face the external shock precipitated by the US-Iran war from a stronger starting point than when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

It said improvements to monetary, fiscal and macroeconomic policy settings and metrics have enhanced the region’s resilience, but the war’s impact will test its depth and durability.
