The Finance minister, Ken Ofori Atta has again blamed Ghana’s economic woes on the Russian-Ukraine war and the emergence of the global pandemic COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite accepting the emergence of the above-mentioned causes has had a negative effect on the country’s economy, the minister assured Government is committed to putting down pragmatic measures to deal with the global crisis.
He disclosed this at a presentation of the Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Monday, 25th July 2022.
Mr Ken Ofori Atta indicated that “These are not good times for the World, Africa, Ghana and globally and I must say the government is still on focus to help recover from the global economic crisis.
“When the NPP Government took power in 2017, the NDC had sent Ghana to the IMF which we worked hard to get out of the program in 2019” the minister stated.
He emphasised the NPP is known to be the best party to turn things around whenever it succeeds the government of the opposition, indicating the Akufo-Addo-led administration has either completed or worked on projects abandoned by the previous government.
