The Ministry of Finance has said that as Ghana turns 70, the country owes the next generation an economy worthy of the freedom it inherited and the sacrifices its people have made.
The Ministry, under its “The New Economy” agenda, says the 70th anniversary should not only be a moment of celebration, but a moment of reflection on what kind of economy the country is building for the future.
It says the freedom won by Ghana’s forebears must be matched by economic freedom; an economy that creates jobs, protects livelihoods and gives young people a fair chance to succeed.
The Ministry says the sacrifices made by ordinary Ghanaians over the years, including through difficult economic periods, must not go to waste.
Government says “The New Economy” is its response to that call, with a focus on stability, production and job creation to build an economy that is resilient and inclusive.
It says the goal is to leave behind an economy that the next generation can be proud of and one worthy of Ghana’s freedom.
