Abena Osei Asare, a deputy finance minister, said that the multitude of problems Ghana is now dealing with call for prompt solutions when the 2023 budget is approved.

She asserts that in order to prevent further crises, the Minority side of parliament must support the budget's adoption.

The deputy finance minister said Tuesday that both domestic and international causes have contributed to Ghana's economic difficulties.

We confront regional and global issues, there is a continuous IMF negotiation, and we are working on debt operations to reduce our debt levels to levels that are manageable.

“Mr Speaker, little did we know that a global pandemic and a war in Ukraine will bring us down to our knees…The quicker we do something about it, the better. It is in this respect that we are asking our colleagues on the other side to support the government in the revenue measures that we have stated in next year’s budget. Any delay in passing this revenue measure means we are pushing Ghana down the drain,” Abena Osei-Asare stressed.

The debate on the 2023 budget began on November 29, 2022 on the floor of parliament, after which it will be approved by the House in due course.
