The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta has again blamed Ghana's economic woes on the Russian-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The minister assured that government is committed to putting in place pragmatic measures to deal with the global crisis.

He disclosed this at a presentation of the Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Monday, 25th July, 2022.

Mr. Ken Ofori Atta indicated that "These are not good times for the World, Africa, Ghana and globally and I must say government is still on focus to help recover from the global economic crisis.

"When the NPP Government took power in 2017, the NDC had sent Ghana to the IMF which we worked hard to get out of the program in 2019" the minister stated.

He emphasised the NPP is known to be the best party to turn things around whenever it takes over government indicating that the Akufo-Addo-led administration has either completed or worked on projects abandoned by the previous government.
