VP Bawumia: Government Working Diligently to Revive Ghana’s Economy

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has reassured the public that the Akufo-Addo-led government is dedicated to restoring Ghana’s economy. During the Church of Pentecost’s National Development Conference 2023, he emphasized that the government’s primary objective has always been to enhance the standard of living for all Ghanaians.

Dr. Bawumia attributed the country’s economic challenges to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. He pointed out that before the pandemic, Ghana was among the fastest-growing economies globally. Despite the setbacks, the Vice President affirmed that the government is tirelessly working to bring the economy back on track.

He stated that the government, following the recent IMF programme, hopes to “bring relief to Ghanaians and return the economy to the high rate of growth that characterised the management of our economy, in the three years preceding the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020.”

“We are taking steps which are taming inflation and exchange rate depreciation and economic growth has also picked up.”

Dr Bawumia noted that government will continue to fund its policies aimed at the expansion and modernisation of the educational system, a systematic reform of the healthcare system, and the enhancement of agriculture productivity to guarantee the prospects of food security, among others.

“I continue to have faith in God to help turn the fortunes of our nation around, accompanied by appropriate policy, determination and hard work on our part. I urge all of you to have the same belief that the fortunes of Ghana under President of Akufo-Addo will be restored,” he added.
