The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has identified enhanced domestic revenue mobilisation as one of the seven priority measures to revive the economy and accelerate the development of the country.
He said Ghana had not performed well in revenue mobilisation compared to its peers and said revenue mobilisation in the past decade had been poor.
Dr Forson stated this in a presentation on the State of the Ghanaian Economy during the opening of the National Economic Dialogue (NED) 2025 in Accra yesterday, which formed part of President John Dramani Mahama's 120-day social contract commitment.
The Finance Minister mentioned the other priority areas as balancing equity, simplicity and efficiency, pursuing a qualitative fiscal consolidation: ring-fencing growth enhancing spending and social programmes.
