The World Bank has increased Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth by 0.2 percentage points to 4.8%, its June 2026 Global Economic Prospects has revealed.

However, the slowdown from the 6.0% growth rate in 2025 echoes the shift from a post-crisis recovery to a more a sustainable medium term-growth path.

The country’s growth rate in 2026 will be higher than the Sub-Saharan Africa average of 4.0%.

The Bretton Woods institution is also increasing its 2027 growth rate for Ghana to 4.9% from the January 2026 forecast of 4.8%, and 5.0% GDP growth in 2028.

The World Bank continued that growth in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is forecast to edge down to 4.0% in 2026 and then recover to 4.4% on average in 2027–28.
