I think government could develop some special program for artisans in the wood work, metal fabricating, equipment/machinery manufacturing and dress making industry by resourcing, retraining them on developing standards, quality, innovation, designing, ethics etc in order to meet internationally best practices.. These are huge markets and areas Ghana should develop to make huge savings and revenues for the country because we import huge volumes of these products from overseas which impose huge forex burden on our country..
Master stroke of solutions to smartly steer the seemingly traumatic affairs of state in an effortlessly heart-warming manner.. May you live long Dr Ato Baah Forson. May the NDC rein long for the next forty + years with these kind of humble, honest, and smart brainy patriots. Aluta continua!!
These people are joking petty corruption small minds, I hope Ato continues like this till the end because they always start like this, Free Shs is not even expensive $250 mill, the country is supposed to have $30 billion so manage your money well.
Ato Forson doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He is converting money already with the government as new money. Previous years when the tax refund is not used, the Ghana government always uses the funds. Canceling new incoming revenue cannot be equated to set aside tax refunds.
The truth doesn't shy away from being queried. We are not being told to believe or assume. We are being told exactly how cuts have been made and where the excess has been allocated. I think transparency is the game and it's making Ghanaians feel at ease. I am interested to know if there's an avenue to resubmit project applications to the 1d1f replacement agencies. I do applaud him for the first in our history to recoup human resource investment exploited by affluent nations abroad by giving foreign governments mandate to pay towards Ghanaian skillsets abroad. I think he could take it further by buying Ghanaian citizens debt from foreign banks and allow the citizens to pay them without interest into GIB so we can have forex without the fees. I hope this makes sense
Economic brains at work! Congratulations for your deep economic insights and the people-centered budget you’ve developed for our country, Ato! Wishing you a successful tenure as finance minister!
44:46 See humility in Hon. Dr. Ato when the host tried to say he initiated the 6% tax refund account with Hon. Seth Tekper before they left office in 2016, he said No, Seth Tekper intiated it with me, he still respects his boss Great guy, Ato Baah Forson❤❤
Seriously, if the NDC can stay like this for the next 4 to 8 years and govern with such honesty and compassion, this country will be the best in Africa oooooo. Wow!!!

I am not being political but i was hoping to hear more about solutions.
Incredible performance. Just dazzling. Great showing by Ato Forson. Elections matter.
Economics made easy is the name of the book and the author is Dr. Ato Forson
Great delivery, very practical approaches to build some much needed confidence in the economy.

It's heart-wrenching to hear such abuse damage inflicted on the nation
This guy is brilliant
Unprecedented for a finance minister to be interviewed just after the budget reading
❤
Am very proud to have you as the finance minister of Ghana

Ghana is now on the right path to massive economic and infrastructure transformation.
This minister is bold and visionary. Ghana needs him for a long time. He allocates public finance with purpose and is based on social needs
