Member of Parliament for Ekumfi, Dr Othniel Ekow Kwainoe, has expressed confidence in the country’s economic outlook, saying recent policy measures being discussed in Parliament signal a positive turn for Ghana’s recovery and self-sufficiency.
Speaking on the AM Show following Parliament’s resumption on Tuesday, Dr Kwainoe said the bills under consideration are aimed at strengthening the economy and positioning the country for sustainable growth.
“I think that all the other bills that were discussed yesterday basically are supposed to steer this country to a point where we can be self-sufficient,” he said.
“So far, looking at what has happened in this country, the economy and all the other important issues that the government is really paying attention to, I think that things are looking quite positive.”
He added that the Finance Ministry’s outlook on economic recovery reflects real progress, noting that the country has “turned the corner positively” and must maintain the momentum to achieve meaningful results.
The government has since assured Ghanaians that its medium-term measures are beginning to yield results, citing declining inflation and a stabilising currency.
The Ekumfi MP-elect believes sustaining these reforms will be critical to ensuring broad-based growth.
“If we continue on that trajectory, this country would do quite well,” he added.
