The Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta has reiterated that the intervention of the government headed by His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has saved many businesses in Ghana.
According to him, many businesses were in the blink of collapsing due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic but with the intervention of the NPP-led government were resurrected with their resolute response to the pandemic.
“Our response to COVID 19 thus far, has earned domestic and worldwide acclaim.”
He reiterates that the spiralling costs of shipping have hit businesses hard, particularly small and medium scale enterprises.
“SMEs have had to struggle with the economic fallout from the pandemic and furthermore they are now being forced to cope with the rising cost of shipping. This is making the lives of traders and consumers very difficult,” he said.
