It is far easier to believe one who says he'd build a new economy with $10bn he is not going to borrow externally because he paid off debt that led to our excommunication and participation in the global market and ultimately junk-rated too, to turn things around in record time, being the first credible economist and politician to reduce a country's debt from 65% to 45% GDP in one single year due to sheer fiscal discipline. Why should I have faith in others who dream up theories only after events they mostly created and could not control have passed?

My assessment of the government is that things have improved significantly at the macroeconomic level. The US-Israel war on Iran had the potential to derail the government’s agenda, but inflation and other macroeconomic indicators have held up relatively well. Policies such as commitment authorisation to manage expenditure, the centralisation of gold trading through GoldBod to improve oversight, and ongoing improvements in the energy sector are worth highlighting. But there is still more work to be done to ensure that macroeconomic stability translates into meaningful improvements in people’s pockets. One important way to achieve this is through the creation of decent jobs for our young people. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing how the New Economy draws lessons from the many government programmes that failed to transform the economy and what it will do differently to ensure this attempt succeeds.

Is the argument that 23.8% year-end inflation reflected the pressure on people’s pockets more accurately than 5.5%? Or are people just discovering that inflation varies across regions and items? When headline inflation was 23.8%, some regions recorded rates significantly above the national average. Several items also experienced price increases well above the headline rate. Let’s not revisit the Steve Hanke days.

The comments section revealed one thing, Ghanaians are getting real, they understand the issue, and are policing the intelligentia commentary with strict scrutiny.
2027 Budget Preview: “It is not the government that should take the credit. It is the sacrifice and sweat of Ghanaians that have resulted in the $10 billion we will use to finance the new economy.” - Prof. Godfred A. Bokpin, Finance Expert #Agenda #TV3GH

Appiah Stadium is upset and criticizing Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa for failing to secure him a US visa for the World Cup after the Minister refused to issue a guarantee letter to the embassy. The US Embassy in Ghana would not generally deny him a visa due to his popularity, so seeking protocol suggests a bad record requiring Ablakwa’s guarantee. Had Ablakwa secured it, Assafuor, Abu Jinapor, Afenyo-Markin and their agents would have paraded the letter on TV, accusing him of visa racketeering. People target Ablakwa not for corruption but because he refuses such favors, knowing they would later use them against him. He values integrity too much to sacrifice it for anyone’s comfort. This revelation from Appiah aims to denigrate Ablakwa but instead confirms his integrity.

Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, says government is considering a policy requiring rice importers to purchase up to 50% of their intended import volumes from local farmers before receiving import permits. Speaking at KNUST, he said the proposal is aimed at securing markets for local rice farmers and reducing Ghana’s dependence on imported rice. #GhanaNews #ChannelOneTV #CitiFM

In this whole decongestion exercise or whatever you call it, I love the way most of these people are handling our mothers in the market. They are giving them the much needed respect and talking to them respectfully. It only on few occasions do we see gidigidi.
