2025 budget proves economy wasn’t in a ‘sick state’ - Gideon Boako - MyJoyOnline

In a recent statement, Gideon Boako, spokesperson for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, asserted that the 2025 budget dispels claims that Ghana's economy was in dire straits. Highlighting key allocations in the budget, Boako emphasized that significant investments in infrastructure and social programs signal a robust recovery and growth trajectory. He argued that contrary to narratives of economic distress, the government's strategic planning and fiscal measures are fostering resilience.

Boako pointed out that the budget reflects a commitment to enhancing public services and stimulating economic activity through targeted spending. By prioritizing sectors like education, health, and transportation, he believes the government is laying a foundation for sustainable development.

Furthermore, he contended that critics who previously described the economy as "sick" should reconsider their assessments in light of these positive developments. The administration’s focus on innovation and job creation through this budget aims to rally support and confidence among citizens as Ghana navigates its economic challenges. In summary, Boako heralded the 2025 budget as evidence of an evolving economic landscape rather than one mired in crisis.
