Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has called on Members of Parliament (MPs) to support the passage of the 2025 budget estimates, emphasizing its critical role in implementing key economic policies aimed at fostering sustainable growth and stability.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Post-Budget Workshop in Parliament, Dr. Forson outlined several transformational initiatives embedded in the budget, including the Big Push initiative to accelerate infrastructure development, the establishment of the Ghana Gold Board to regulate the gold sector, and the Agriculture for Economic Transformation program to enhance food security and agro-industrialization.
“We have outlined a number of revenue and expenditure measures in the 2025 budget to support the achievement of our fiscal objectives and targets. And we would like to call on this esteemed House, particularly my colleagues, the Members of Parliament, to support these measures and the passage of the various legislations that will operationalize the measures as soon as possible,” Dr. Forson stated.
He further stressed that the proposed fiscal policies are designed to stabilize the economy, create jobs, and attract investment.
As the budget debate unfolds, the government is hopeful that bipartisan support will pave the way for the swift implementation of these critical initiatives to drive national development.
