Speaking during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday, he expressed his ambition to be remembered as a minister who successfully achieved those goals.
” …Mr Chairman, I want to be remembered as the one who helped to reduce prices, stabilised the economy and created jobs. That is what I ask God to help me to achieve,” Dr Forson told the Committee.
He also sought divine assistance in achieving those objectives, demonstrating his commitment to making a positive impact on Ghana’s economy.
To address the country’s economic challenges, Dr Forson planned to raise the required revenue and allocate it to sectors that would create jobs.
He emphasised the importance of stabilising the cedi, aiming to reduce the annual currency depreciation rate to eight per cent.
Dr Forson’s priorities align with the new administration’s goals, which include turning the economy around and creating employment opportunities.
As the finance minister-designate prepares to take office, his focus on economic stability, job creation, and reduced prices offers a promising outlook for Ghana’s future.
On Thursday, January 9, President John Dramani Mahama submitted his first batch of ministerial nominations to the Speaker of Parliament in accordance with Article 78 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
The nominees are Dr Ato Forson, Finance, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, Energy; and Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, Attorney -General and Minister of Justice.
