Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta presented the government’s 2024 annual budget statement and economic policy in Parliament on November 15.
This presentation is in accordance with Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 21 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921).
An earlier statement from the ministry said the budget was crucial because it was developed to support the implementation of the IMF-backed Post-Covid-19 Programme of Economic Growth (PC-PEG).
Also, the budget statement is expected to describe the performance of the economy, efforts to boost the productive capacity of the economy through the new growth strategy, fiscal measures, and debt management strategies to deepen stability and promote growth in the country.
