The Minority in Parliament has accused the incumbent government of taking credit for debt restructuring achievements initiated under the Akufo-Addo administration.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, July 29, the group described the Finance Minister's remarks on public debt as misleading.
According to the Minister, Ghana's public debt-to-GDP ratio had declined from 61.8% in December 2024 to 43.8% in June 2025, which he attributed to prudent economic management.
But the Minority questioned how much of the actual debt had been repaid to warrant such a claim. "It is no secret the painstaking efforts the NPP government made to restructure our debts… led to outright debt cancellation of US$5 billion and debt service savings of US$4.7 billion.
