The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has said Ghana’s economy has good hope of being turned around under new Finance Minister despite economic challenges.
According to the Asante monarch, he knows the country is facing economic difficulties but he hopes a turnaround will be achieved if some right measures are implemented.
Otumfuo said this when the new Minister Mohammed Amin Adam paid a courtesy on him at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
He urged Mohammed Amin Adam to continue where Ken Ofori-Atta left off.
“The president has expressed confidence in you and has given you a mandate as the Finance Minister. Despite the country facing economic difficulties, there is hope for a turnaround if the right measures are implemented. Your predecessor has initiated some measures to address the economic conditions, and I urge you to continue from where he left off.” He said.
“You are not new to the Finance Ministry, having been there already. I also encourage you to work closely with the staff at the Ministry, fostering collaboration to share ideas and achieve the set goals. Ghanaians are now looking up to you for financial leadership, given the President’s appointment.” He continued.
“The president made promises to the people, and you will be instrumental in finding the resources to fulfil those promises. As an engineer with a background in Financial Engineering, I believe you can leverage your skills to navigate the economic challenges” he added.
