Ahead of his presentation, some analysts in the business environment say they would want the president to lay out a detailed plan to stabilise the economy.
"We expect that the state of the nation address will make clearer the vision for the first 2017 and particularly for the business environment. And also essentially the strategy in terms of stabilising the currency which is a major worry now. It appears that it is difficult to begin to budget very well in the country now because you cannot predict the behaviour of the currency in a next week or so. So we are expecting that a vision will be laid down clearly and an outline of what measures they will take to stabilise basically the economy,” the Corporate Affairs Manager of the Finatrade Group, Mr John Awuni has told Pulse.com.gh.

Ghana’s education, particularly, the Free senior High School policy which is expected to begin in September this year has been a major topic in the country, especially with the source of funding for the policy.
For Dr Prince Armah, the Executive Director for the Institute for Education Studies, the president must clarify how the free SHS policy will be funded.
"The president has indicated his preparedness and intention to implement the free Senior High School (SHS) policy. We expect the president to highlight how that project will be implemented. And also address quite an important issue such as quality. We are expecting the president to highlight issues on equity for pupils who have access to secondary school and have dropped out,” he said.
