Finance minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson
Finance minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has reaffirmed his commitment to stabilising Ghana’s economy, reflecting on the journey so far as the country prepares for the 2025 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page sighted by MyNewsGh, Dr Forson revisited the pledges he made during his ministerial vetting—chief among them being to stabilise the exchange rate, reduce inflation, and create jobs.
“At my vetting, I made a firm commitment to the Ghanaian people: to stabilise the exchange rate, reduce inflation, and create jobs.
“These were not mere words—they were promises backed by action,” he wrote.
He explained that shortly after assuming office, he went beyond the boardrooms and took to the markets to engage directly with citizens who were bearing the brunt of the cedi’s depreciation.
“I listened, I took note, and I acted,” he stated, emphasising that the 2025 Budget was crafted based on real concerns from Ghanaians, with clear strategies aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and rebuilding public confidence.
As anticipation builds for the Mid-Year Review, Dr Forson posed a direct question to the public: “Are we making the needed impact so far?”
His post signals a moment of reflection and accountability, as the government seeks to assess the effectiveness of its economic recovery efforts amidst ongoing fiscal pressures and global uncertainties.
The Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review, expected later this month, will provide updates on revenue, expenditure, and economic projections, and may adjust some key policy targets.
