The desk brief
On 9 September 2026 the Ghana Statistical Service reported real GDP growth of 6.0% in Q2 2026 (first half 6.2%), led by an 8.0% services expansion and a 30.9% surge in ICT that contributed 41.5% of quarterly growth, with non-oil GDP up 5.4%.
A stronger-than-expected Q2 print, concentrated in services and ICT, reduces near-term revenue stress conditional on tax conversion of digital activity and broader base effects. If sustained, the result could ease rollover risk and place downward pressure on mid-tenor Ghana eurobond spreads and support the cedi; the effect depends on fiscal follow-through and external receipts from oil and investment.
Publication of Q3 budget outturns and the next GSS quarterly release (Q3) or IMF program review.
