President John Dramani Mahama has praised the collaborative efforts between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Ghana, attributing Ghana’s recent economic recovery to their effective partnership.

Speaking at a durbar of chiefs and residents at the Wa Jubilee Park on Thursday, 15th May, as part of his post-election thank-you tour, President Mahama offered special commendation to the Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama.

“I wish to commend the Honourable Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana along with their teams for the close collaboration and coordination they are displaying in this economic turnaround,” Mahama stated.

With the Ghanaian cedi showing signs of strengthening and key macroeconomic indicators trending positively, the former President expressed optimism about the country’s economic outlook and suggested that even more favourable developments were on the horizon.

“I am sure that by the time the Honourable Minister comes back to Parliament to present his mid-year review budget in August, we will have even more good news for Ghanaians,” he added.
