Defence minister, Dr.

Edward Omane Boamah, has stated that Ghana's economic condition does not reflect an economy that has "turned the corner," but rather one in severe distress, weighed down by debt repayment burdens, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability.

Speaking on the state of the economy in a Facebook post after Finance Minister Dr Casiel Ato Forson presented his maiden budget to Parliament, Dr.

Boamah emphasized that the 2025 budget aims to set Ghana on a path of fiscal responsibility, debt sustainability, macroeconomic stability, and job creation.
