HON MAHAMA RAISES CONCERNS OVER ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT The Member of Parliament for Walewale Constituency, Hon. Abdul Kabiru Tiah Mahama, has expressed concerns about the government's economic management strategies. Contributing on the statement made by Hon Eric Afful, Hon. Mahama noted that the prices of goods and services are determined by market forces of demand and supply, as well as currency fluctuations. He emphasized that the injection of dollars into the economy by the Bank of Ghana may be masking underlying economic issues, rather than addressing the root causes of the problems. He cited the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) advice to the government to collaborate with the Bank of Ghana to stop intervening in the economy through injecting high amounts of currency. Regarding the debt-to-GDP ratio, Hon. Mahama attributed the decline in GDP to the government's debt restructuring program and IMF support, rather than any positive economic growth. He questioned the governmen

He noted that this development contradicts the government’s commitment to promoting private sector growth. “At a time when the economy is struggling with inflation, high interest rates, and cedi depreciation, this embargo could worsen the investment
