Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta says 2022 was the most difficult year for him as Ghana’s Finance Minister.

Ofori-Atta said the country was going through a dire period of economic uncertainties and despondency.

Presenting the 2022 Midyear Budget dubbed ‘Nkabom Budget’ in Parliament on Monday July, 31 he said “ On July 1st 2022, we took what was then a very difficult but necessary decision to

request support from the IMF to implement our Post-COVID-19 Programme of Economic Growth (PC-PEG).”

“Mr. Speaker, we have turned the corner and, more importantly, we are determined to continue down that path. Soon, we expect the measures taken resulting 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.”
