He clarified that the net borrowing by the Mahama government currently stands at GH₵7.1 billion, primarily as a buffer to service maturing debts accrued under the previous New Patriotic Party administration led by Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Bawumia.

“It is instructive to note that actual debt accumulation under the Mahama government is virtually zero,” Dr. Forson stated.

He further stated that the administration’s prudent public debt management strategies have resulted in a sharp decline in the 91-day T-Bill rate from 28.34 per cent to 20.79 per cent within just 50 days.

According to him, this drop reflects strong investor confidence in the Ghanaian economy under the current leadership.
