Mid-Year Budget Review: Deloitte Africa Executive calls for better revenue mobilisation and focused flagship programmes

Mr Appiah Lartey argued that Ghana has often focused on introducing new taxes while failing to maximise existing revenue sources, particularly property taxation.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, July 25, Mr Appiah Lartey said Ghana’s economic recovery efforts must go beyond expenditure controls and focus on sustainable revenue generation, efficient project financing and targeted interventions.

Partner and Africa Leader for Infrastructure, Capital Projects and Real Estate at Deloitte Africa, Yaw Appiah Lartey, has welcomed aspects of the government’s Mid-Year Budget Review, particularly measures aimed at improving the financing of capital projects, while urging authorities to strengthen revenue mobilisation and avoid duplication in the implementation of flagship programmes.
