Ghana is on the right path to economic recovery, says the caretaker Finance Minister, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu.
According to him, the country made some good gains in the last three years prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, which nearly brought the country’s economy to its knees.
He said although the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected the country’s economy, government through its good policies is restoring the economy and building a more resilient one. The resilient economy, he noted, will be anchored on the gains made before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
Mr. Mensah Bonsu made the remarks when he presented the 2021 budget in Parliament on Friday afternoon, March 12, 2021.
