The Majority Leader and the caretaker Minister for Finance Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has disclosed that the country recorded a positive growth rate of 0.9% in 2020.
According to him, this is contrary to negative projections made by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other bodies.
Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu made this known when he appeared before Parliament to present the government’s budget statement for 2021.
According to him, this was achieved through the prudent management of the economy by the Akufo-Addo administration.
“I stand here on behalf of the President to present to the House, the state of the economy and how we have managed to mitigate and survive the pandemic with a projected positive growth rate of 0.9% in 2020, contrary to fears of a negative growth rate as experienced in many countries,” he said.
