The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has stated that Ghana is making modest progress in turning the economy around after experiencing severe economic hardship in 2022.
Mr. Ofori-Atta explained in his presentation of the 2023 Mid-Year Budget Review that the government’s plans and programmes are beginning to yield positive results.
The Minister told parliament that Ghana has managed to maintain peace, health, security, and a continuous supply of power.
“Mr. Speaker, it is important that we acknowledge some of the major milestones that this country has experienced in the last 3 years. We should be still and appreciate that despite our challenges as a country, we have been saved from many extreme conditions that others have suffered, including peace, health, security, a continuous supply of power, and life itself, amongst others.
“Over that period, the country has gone through extremely difficult situations, and the gratitude of His Excellency the President and his government goes to the good people of Ghana for their patience, understanding, and positive contributions to the government’s efforts to weather the storm.
“Mr. Speaker, we have turned the corner and, more importantly, we are determined to continue down that path. Soon, we expect the measures taken to result in economic activity greater than anything experienced in the history of the Fourth Republic. Our plans and programmes should soon lead to a sustained increase in domestic production, including manufacturing and farming, replacing many of the products that we are used to importing.”
