Macroeconomic gains must create employment – Prof. Bokpin

Mr Stephane Miezan, President of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, commended the government for maintaining fiscal discipline and stability.

He said while the government had made progress in reducing inflation, improving fiscal discipline and restoring debt sustainability, the country’s economic framework continued to emphasise indicators over employment creation.“We have a target for inflation, we have a target for growth, we have a target for fiscal balance, but there is no nationally determined target for employment generation in the budget,” he said.
