Stephen Amoah has dismissed President John Mahama's criticism of the Akufo-Addo administration's economic management, insisting the NPP left Ghana's economy in a far better state than it inherited in 2017. "The GDP growth Mahama left was 3.4%.
When we were leaving, it was 6.3%-almost double.
Agriculture grew from 2.7% to 4.5%, and industry from 4.3% to 8.9%," he stated.
The Nhyiaeso MP and former Deputy Finance Minister acknowledged the global impact of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, which he said forced Ghana into debt financing due to revenue shortfalls.
