The Minister of Finance Cassiel Ato Forson has assured that despite the troubling state of the Ghanaian Economy, they are poised to fix it and return the country to the path of sustainable growth.
“Mr. Speaker, it is what it is. The state of our economy is troubling, but we will fix it! It will require some
sacrifices, truthfulness, transparency and discipline. We will take strong measures to confront the situation head-on.
Presenting the 2025 Budget and Fiscal Policy of Government in parliament, he noted that the sacrifice of achieving this must come from all stakeholders, beginning with the government, adding that it is the reason the president, appreciating this significantly downsized his government from “the elephant 88 to 60 ministers as well as government ministries from 30 to 23.
“our vision is to build a prosperous and a democratic state anchored on the principles of freedom and justice, providing equal opportunities for all. Through this vision, we will work together to build the Ghana we all want”.
The Finance Minister, thus announced that the resetting agenda will be anchored on three pillars:
i- restoring hope in our democracy, renewing
trust in public officials, and helping every
Ghanaian attain their full potential;
ii- offering a trusted hand to the vulnerable,
particularly women and youth and creating a
new Ghana for coming generations; and
iii- stimulating demand by patronising made-in-
Ghana goods under the 24-hour Economy
Policy.
