The Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company, Sammy Gyamfi, has expressed optimism ahead of the presentation of the 2025 budget by Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson.
Speaking before the budget reading, Mr. Gyamfi described the day as significant, as it marks the first budget presentation of the Mahama-led government since its victory in the elections.
“Well, today is a great day – the day for the first budget reading for the Mahama government since our emphatic victory at the polls. I am very confident and optimistic that the budget to be presented by the Finance Minister, my brother, Cassiel Ato Forson, will inspire hope,” he said.
According to Mr. Gyamfi, hope has been a scarce commodity in Ghana, especially among the youth, due to economic challenges in recent years. He assured Ghanaians that the new budget would address their concerns and improve their livelihoods.
“This is a budget that will respond to the needs and aspirations of the people of Ghana. It is a budget that will ease hardships. It is a budget that will introduce the kind of reforms we need to reset our economy, creating an environment where businesses thrive and where all people, irrespective of their political affiliations, can realize their potential and dreams,” he added.
Mr. Gyamfi emphasized that the budget would reflect the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) commitment to fulfilling its promises to Ghanaians.
“I am looking forward to a budget that inspires, a budget that is alive to the needs of the people, and a budget that will keep faith with the social contract we in the NDC have with the people. It must respect the promises we made at the polls and include far-reaching policies for job creation, easing hardships, and creating prosperity for all.”
The Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, is expected to present the budget to Parliament later today, outlining key policies and economic plans for the year ahead.
