Ghana’s youngest finance minister recently spoke on Radio Gold 90.5 FM about 2025, praising Sammy Gyamfi for his drive and determination.
“Sammy Gyamfi has always been on my mind. The President has selected him, and he’s a young man full of energy. It’s rare to find such individuals. You need someone who not only has energy but also the drive, determination, and a can-do attitude.” He also recognized the crucial role of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) in managing the money supply and reducing inflation.
Strategic Reforms and Economic Stabilization
Dr. Forson explained the extensive actions taken to combat inflation and address structural problems. “In addition to that, I had to deal with inflation and structural issues, like how to build reserves to ensure currency stability,” he said.
One key initiative he mentioned was the Gold Bond, a long-term project aimed at strengthening the country’s reserves. This initiative, along with the efforts of the Cocoa Board and reforms in the Central Bank, has been essential in fortifying Ghana’s economic base.
The President’s Vision and Guidance
Dr. Forson credited much of the progress to President Mahama’s leadership, highlighting the significance of the President’s daily involvement and guidance.
“There was no way we could achieve even a quarter of what we’ve been able to achieve without the support of the President and his guidance. His vision he has – do this, don’t do this, go here, don’t go here, don’t worry, I’ll back you.”
He noted that the President’s ability to simplify complex technical issues into layman’s terms has been instrumental in the effective implementation of economic policies.
“The benefits of his guidance, the benefits of his support, is there6y for everybody to see,” Dr. Forson remarked.
Looking Ahead
With the current trajectory, Dr. Forson expressed optimism for the future of Ghana’s economy. He predicted that the people of Ghana will continue to see a tangible difference in their economic well-being within the next year.
