Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson
The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has assured Ghanaians that he will be mindful of their needs.
This assurance comes after he visited the Makola Market to assess how market women are faring with their sales and how the economy affects their activities.
He indicated that the government will always remain mindful of the needs of the people in fashioning out policies and programmes, emphasising that he will continue to engage them.
“I am deeply grateful to all our compatriots at Makola who welcomed me with open hearts, sharing your thoughts, fears, challenges, and ideas. I assure you that I will always remain mindful of your needs, and as a government, we will do all we can to truly represent you. This is just the beginning of many meaningful engagements—we are here to serve you! #ResettingGhana #Budget2025 #TogetherWeGrow,” he shared in a post on social media.
The finance minister presents the first budget of the John Dramani Mahama administration to the people of Ghana on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
Ghanaians expect that there will not be any new taxes and that some of the nuisance taxes, like the E-Levy, COVID-19 tax, and betting tax, among others, will be scrapped as promised by the government.
