Ato Forson says government will move from fiscal consolidation to growth and jobs agenda

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson says government is preparing to move Ghana’s economic management strategy from strict fiscal consolidation to a growth-focused agenda after months of difficult adjustment measures.

He said the government plans to gradually relax fiscal adjustments by one per cent of Gross Domestic Product as it transitions into the next stage of its economic programme.

Speaking during a working by the Vice President, he said government had completed 18 months of a planned fiscal consolidation programme and had about six months remaining before a gradual shift towards policies focused on growth and employment.
