"I am burnt on running a responsible administration, mindful of the next generation and not merely the next election", President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo tells Ghanaians of the intervention by his government to improve the economy.
Delivering a State of the Nation Address before Parliament today, President Akufo-Addo noted that his administration has since its inception made great strides in managing the economy and ensuring fiscal discipline under his leadership.
According to him, his objective is to build a better Ghana for generations and so believed one step forward is to maintain discipline in spending character of his government.
As part of measures to improve the economic fundamentals of Ghana, President Akufo-Addo told the Speaker of Parliament that he has decided to "institute a legal framework to help with the discipline. We’ve passed a Fiscal Responsibility Law (Act 982) capping the deficit of 5 percent by law. In some two weeks ago, I inaugurated the Presidential Fiscal Responsibility Advisory Council chaired by the eminent respected economist, Dr. Paul Acquah – former Governor of the Bank of Ghana and former Deputy Director of the Africa department of the IMF – with some of the finest and most reputable economists of our country as members”.
He was optimistic his initiatives will help "discipline and bring progress to our country . . . I am burnt on running a responsible administration, mindful of the next generation and not merely the next election. In the meantime, our efforts are bearing some fruits and the world is taking notice of the improvement in our economic fundamentals”.

KKD where in this world have you seen manifestation moving together with the realities. When interest rate goes down and a business person borrows to expand her business, will it not take months or years for the business to stand on its feet to be able to employ people? The free SHS, is it not going to take some 10-15 years for Ghana to reap the benefits? Such ignoran-ce KKD. The fact of nature is that every success begins with good planting..... Akufo Affordable is indeed a Visionary.
Ghana has needed such leadership drive and courage for a long time. The remarkable signs of recovery from a virtually comatose state of economy to one with strong fundamentals paint a picture of hope and utmost relief. The clarity of thought and confidence in the delivery was evident and clear.
