The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has described his journey in public service as one steered by destiny and enriched by invaluable experiences.

He expressed a deep sense of gratitude to all who have helped him as he recounted his progression through the ranks of public service.

Presenting the 2025 Budget and Economic Policy of government to Parliament on March 11, Dr Ato Forson recalled his early years as a young parliamentarian in 2009, attributing his growth to the lessons learned throughout his years of service. "Standing here evokes a deep sense of nostalgia as I reflect on my journey in public service.

From my early days as a young parliamentarian in this House in 2009, destiny has guided my path-from a backbencher to a member of the Finance Committee, then to Deputy Minister for Finance, Ranking Member on the Finance Committee, Minority Leader, briefly Majority Leader, and now Minister for Finance," he stated.
