Ghana is a West African presidential republic of roughly 33 million people with a GDP near 80 billion USD, sitting on the Greenwich meridian itself so it observes Greenwich Mean Time (Africa/Accra, UTC+0) year-round with no daylight saving — one of the few sovereign states whose civil time exactly matches the meridian for which it is named. President John Dramani Mahama was sworn in on 7 January 2025 after winning the December 2024 election with about 56 percent against NPP candidate Mahamudu Bawumia, becoming the first Ghanaian leader democratically elected to a non-consecutive second term. The economy is anchored by the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), Ghana's role as the world's second-largest cocoa producer, gold mining and oil from the Jubilee field. Ghana is recovering from its 2022-23 debt restructuring under a roughly 3 billion USD IMF Extended Credit Facility, with cedi stability and the 2024 cocoa price surge shaping the outlook.
