The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, delivered the 2022 Mid-Year Budget in Parliament today after it was postponed due to government’s engagements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for support.
Among other things, he gave updates on the state of the economy and what the government is doing to revive the economy. He also provided updates on programmes like NABCo, YouStart, Agenda 111 and many others.
