Government shifts economic focus from stability to growth, jobs

15, GNA – Mr Thomas Nyarko Ampem, Deputy Minister of Finance, says Government is shifting its economic focus from restoring macroeconomic stability to translating the gains into higher investment, production, exports and quality jobs.

He said the next phase of the economic recovery would place the private sector at the centre, with increased domestic production, local value addition, export expansion and job creation expected to drive sustained growth.

Mr Ampem said the Government would focus on strengthening domestic supply chains, increasing local sourcing of production inputs, processing more of the country’s raw materials and expanding access to international markets for locally produced goods.
