Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato-Forson, has admitted that the country is not out of the woods yet, saying it will be premature to make that pronouncement.
However, he pointed out that “the good news is today, hope is in sight and we are determined to navigate the country out of the terrible storm we inherited”.
He therefore called for the support of the people of Ghana to weather this storm.
“The gains we have made so far are the result of your sacrifice, your patience and our belief that change was not only necessary, but crucial, stressing that “This Mid-Year Review is not just a technical report.”
He continued that “This is the story of the Ghanaian people. A story of a nation that refused to give up.”
He pointed out that President Mahama is focused and he will deliver. “President Mahama is honouring his promises to the Ghanaian people”, he added.
He alluded that the second half of 2025 promises to be even better, stressing that “We expect inflation to continue its downward trend and reach our 2025 target ahead of schedule. We will sustain the stability of the cedi through disciplined spending, targeted investment and continued reserve accumulation”.
He noted that growth will be further boosted by the government’s strategic initiatives including the 24-Hour Economy programme, the Big Push infrastructure programme and the revitalisation of agriculture through the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Programme.
