Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam has announced that the government has undertaken significant efforts to digitalise the economy.
According to the Minister, this initiative aims to involve every citizen in the revival of the local economy.
Dr. Amin Adam, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Karaga, revealed that approximately GH₵135 million has been invested in the national identification programme since January 2024.
This investment, he believes, is a crucial part of the government's strategy to enhance economic participation and efficiency.
During the 2024 mid-year budget review presented in Parliament on Tuesday, July 23, Dr. Amin Adam emphasised the government's commitment to revitalizing the economy for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
He highlighted the importance of digitalisation in achieving this goal.

"Mr Speaker, to advance our digitalisation drive and expand our unique identification system, we have invested about 135 million Ghana Cedis in the National Identification Programme since January 2024."
"Mr. Speaker, this significant progress has been underpinned by an environment of enhanced and inclusive engagements with key stakeholders. These engagements have provided useful feedback, improved understanding and bolstered cooperation."
"Mr. Speaker, the stabilisation is real. We are determined to stay the course of our fiscal consolidation programme. Increased attention will continue to be given to prudent management of approved expenditures and improved revenue mobilisation," he stated.
