Chairman of the Economic Sub-Committee for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Manifesto, Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah, has commended the government’s economic progress since 2017, asserting that they have successfully “turned the corner” in stabilising Ghana’s economy.
He stated that the current administration had inherited a struggling economy from the previous Mahama-led government, but significant improvements have been made over the years.
Dr Assibey-Yeboah reflected on the comparative progress Ghana has made, emphasising that the country’s economy is now on a stronger footing than before.
He attributed this progress to the strategic measures implemented by the NPP government, which have helped foster a more resilient economic environment.
In an interview with Channel One TV on Monday, Dr Assibey-Yeboah acknowledged the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ghana’s economic stability.
However, he highlighted that effective interventions by the government had enabled a robust recovery, underscoring that the administration’s management policies were crucial to the economy’s bounce-back.
He further expressed confidence in the NPP’s Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, endorsing him as the preferred leader to continue Ghana’s economic growth.
Dr Assibey-Yeboah credited Dr Bawumia’s economic leadership for steering the country towards stability, particularly through initiatives that have prioritised fiscal responsibility and structural reforms.
According to him, the progress achieved so far is a testament to the NPP's commitment to economic resilience and growth, reinforcing their vision for Ghana's prosperity in the upcoming December elections.
He encouraged Ghanaians to support Dr Bawumia to sustain and build upon this economic foundation.
“Investors are looking to Ghana again, there’s an opportunity to go to the international capital market. The Ghana story regardless of what people would say is still exciting, and so people are still looking at Ghana.
"The outlook is heading in the right direction, things are improving, and there have been social interventions," he stated.
