Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has called for a deliberate shift towards using Ghana’s natural and economic resources to generate employment, expand local industries and improve the living standards of citizens.
Dr Forson said the government’s New Economy programme was designed to redirect resources towards productive sectors, strengthen domestic production and ensure that economic recovery translates into sustainable prosperity.
He said the framework would prioritise investments in agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and critical minerals, with a focus on value addition, job creation and expanding opportunities for local businesses.
“Our natural and economic wealth must translate into improved living conditions, decent jobs and opportunities for all,” he said.
